Kathy left this world with the same gentle grace and strength with which she lived her life, and to the end, continued to place the needs and feelings of those around her above her own. Kathy’s passing leaves an empty place – a desire for just a bit more Kath— as well as an abundance of wonderful memories: those of love and laughter, joy and laughter, hugs and laughter; of Kathy.

She taught us all what it was to love unconditionally.

Kathy raised a husband and three beautiful chil o fthe dren in their love-filled Middle Grove home. She was a Navy Veteran, worked for years in fice of Doheny Oil, and fin-mem-Church, ished her career as Office Manager for the gracious folks of Cottrell Paper Co. Kathy was an active ber of the Middle Grove United Methodist giving of her time as a Sunday School Teacher, Choir Director, and church Treasurer. She was an envi every daugh r on mentalist, a minimalist and a caretaker for one.

Above all, Kathy shone as a devoted wife and mother, a loving sister and ter, and a kind and gentle friend to those who shared her path. A piece of her live son in each of her chistand fa mt he dren: Benjamin Alan, Kali Jean and Evan Marie.

Kathy’s wish would be for you to make donations of kindness and ing to your friends, ily and neighbors – to take care of the world and people around you.
