Kathy attended school at Mississippi Valley State School in Hannibal. While an adult in years, Kathy was an innocent child all of her life, and her smile could light up a room.

Family gatherings was something that Kathy loved the most.

The family would like to extend a very special "thank you" to their youngest sister Kimberly,
her husband Jason, and their children Kaitie, Jacob, Kaleb, and Josie for embracing Kathy as one of their own and for taking care of her during their Mom's failing health and since her passing.
