Kathy graduated from Keller High School in 1971 and married her husband, Gary soon after. After short travels to South Texas and Alabama, she and Gary moved back to Fort Worth and raised their two daughters in the Watauga area and have enjoyed seeing them grow into parents of their own. She adored her grandchildren and found joy in spoiling them with shopping trips, ice cream stocked in the freezer, grilled cheese sandwiches cut diagonally, and elaborate Christmases. After retirement, Kathy enjoyed the down time that allowed her to travel, spend time with her flowers, bird watching, and extra time with family and friends. Kathy in her generosity, even in the end wanted to help others and was an organ donor. Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, great aunt and friend will be dearly missed.
