Kathy had a way of making people feel understood — she listened fully, cared deeply, and showed up for others in ways that truly mattered.Kathy also had a gentle love for animals, and they seemed to sense her kindness. Whether it was a family pet or a stray that needed a little care, she always made room in her heart for them.She was the kind of person who found meaning in everyday moments. Whether she was sharing stories, laughing with family, or offering steady support during hard times, Kathy created a sense of comfort wherever she went. Her warmth wasn’t loud or showy; it was the kind that settled into people and stayed with them.Kathy is survived by her children, grandchildren, and extended family, each carrying forward pieces of her — in their kindness, their resilience, and the way they treat the people they love. Her absence will be felt every day, but the memories she created will continue to guide and steady those she leaves behind.A celebration of Katherine’s life will be held at a later date. Her family invites anyone who knew her to honor her memory by sharing a story, offering a kindness, or taking a moment to appreciate the people in their lives — the way she always did.
