Kathy enjoyed camping with her family and friends. She was also talented in needle point and crocheting. Christmas was Kathy’s favorite time of year. She was truly a kid at heart.  She was a favorite aunt to both her nieces and nephews two legged and four legged. Kathy will always be remembered for her great love of animals and her generosity. She opened her heart to many animals and took a particular liking to maltese dogs.
