Growing up she was the youngest of six siblings, Kathy was outgoing, very very sociable, and had a fondness for her hometown Reynolds, Indiana, where she was lovingly called “Skip”

Kathy was a very devoted wife, a wonderful mother, nanny and a fantastic friend to many. Compassion and a true concern for others created a lifetime of ministry with an enthusiasm for teaching the Bible. Kathy loved the Lord and sharing his love for others was of great importance. In later years, she wrote a book about her relationship with the Lord called “A Love Affair’.

Although Kathy will be greatly missed, knowing she has finally been redeemed by her Lord and Savior and made whole, she is truly in Heaven.

A special thank you to all who loved and cared for Kathy in her final years.
