Kathy Lynn Anderson

Kathy passed away at home on May 13, 2024. She is lovingly remembered by her husband and life partner, Chuck Wagner of Richardson, TX, as well as by her many nephews and nieces, who all agree that "Aunt Kathy was the best thing to ever happen to Chuck."

Born on May 27, 1958, Kathy graduated from LV Berkner High School in Richardson, TX, in 1976, where she played flute in the band and earned first chair in the highly awarded State "Honor Band." Kathy dedicated over 30 years of her life as a flight attendant with Southwest Airlines, retiring in 2015.

Kathy’s gentle and reserved nature complemented Chuck’s outgoing personality perfectly. Known for her kind heart, she always prioritized the needs of others. A devoted daughter and sister, Kathy was extremely close to her mother and brother, who preceded her in death. She also had a deep love for animals, frequently sharing her home with 2-3 dogs and various birds.
