Kathy had a heart of solid gold and helping others was what made her the happiest.
She was extremely proud of her girls and loved her husband, children, step-children, and grandchildren with her whole heart.
Her smile and energy would light up any room she entered. Her “hi honey” will ring in our ears for a lifetime!
She always stopped to ask how you were doing or to have a quick chat, even if she barely knew you - she loved people and her warm heart and kind personality were infectious! She wanted everyone to feel special and loved.
Kathy’s ultimate goal in life was to help others and bring a smile to your face. Even as she left this world, she gave the gift of life to three recipients through organ donation.
We ask that you please share any memories or photos you may have of her, so we can all cherish her warm heart and bright smile for eternity!
