After seeing the photo of precious Kathy, and then to read the most beautiful heartfelt memories of all whom she had touched, I can imagine her in heaven greeting her Dad, and hugging all the other precious relatives, and friends who have passed. I remember an occasion when Gilbert had visited and he came home telling me just how cute she was.  I also can remember that when she was just a little one in school, that I was told how she liked to help the teacher. She was born to be a special kind of teacher.
When one reads about her relationship with her students, you can see her giving them smiles and hugs and sending them home every day feeling really good.What a gift she was to those special little ones in whose care she was entrusted. It  was so touching to hear  how her fellow teachers also sought her out for advice.  I could just feel the love and respect of her peers as I read their memories.  What a legacy and this must give great comfort to Valeria, John, & Mark and her extended family.
Kathy's life just makes one want to be the best they can be in being a caring, loving nurturing person.
Please accept my condolences and my long distance hugs.  The finality of the death of a loved one is the most painful  part of our loss.  However, the memories of her life and who Kathy was as a child of God should give all comfort.  She definitely loved others as she loved herself and in doing that she lived the words in the good book. In reading the type of life she lived, she took time to enjoy special celebrations and to do hings she wanted to do.  Her memories will live on and you will feel her spirit always.
I love all of you who mourn and I pray that you will feel God's love and comfort as you heal.  I just regret I can't be with you but all of you live in my heart always as you are all such special cousins.


Kathy was an amazing and dedicated teacher.  Her love for her students was evident in everything she did in class and outside of it. I met Kathy 20 years ago and quickly realized we shared many things in common. I will miss laughing with each other, talking about our 4 legged babies, or waiting to see which wig she would wear during picture day! Rest In Peace dear friend, until we meet again.




Her passion for teaching her students  shined through her. She always went above and beyond to make sure her students reached their goals. I will miss her smile and funny jokes that would have you cracking up all day.

I worked with Kathy for six and a half years teaching Special Education. Kathy was my mentor, and took me under her wing to show me the ropes and support me not just during my first year of teaching, but any time I needed anything. She did that for anyone around her. I think what I appreciated the most about Kathy was her ability to be unapologetically herself. Kathy inspired me to find my balance of being a professional but to also still be myself. It calmed me, for some reason, as a newbie.  Now that I have had the opportunity to be a mentor, you best believe I have my Kathy moments where I offer a similar approach, and it brings a smile to my face when I am able to provide that calm she provided to me every time I needed it. It's my opportunity to give back what was given to me. Kathy, you are so greatly missed. Know that the work and care you provided to others has created a domino effect, and I am honored to keep it going for you. 

Kathy has been my best friend since we were 16. Every major life event I have ever had has a tie to Kathy.  The laughs, inside jokes and wonderful memories are too numerous to count. My children will miss their "Aunt Kathy".  I take comfort in knowing you are with your Dad and with my Mom.  

I love you and miss you terribly my dear friend...

It has been hard to try to come here and type out the words that can express how I felt for Kathy, but I know that I can say without a doubt, that she has changed me as a person for the 10 years that I have worked for her by her side. I would always tell her “If I screw up, please tell me so I can learn”. She would reply with a smile of “oh you’ll know if you do”.
 
I would always love talking to her in the morning  with the same interest as I do, and I would help her get the day ready to help those wonderful kids that we have always loved being around, and with certainty that every kid she helped, she did so with all of her heart. This sudden news that I received, is heart breaking….. and the world lost a good soul…. but I cannot help but see all the positive things that this woman has done for education,  for the community,  and for that her memory will be forever lasting.  And teachers if I have grammatical errors I’m sorry I tried.
 
I will always love Kathy, and I will be forever grateful for the memories that we shared.

I worked with Kathy from 1996 to 2015. The last few years she showed me the ropes of special education. I called her the kid whisperer.  She was a phenomenal teacher. We used to sit together in the mornings waiting for the buses. Some days she would share hilarious stories and make me laugh. Those days I would be smiling when the kids came in. Other days she would share stories about her family and adventures she had. She absolutely loved the Rennasaince Festival. I heard many stories about that. She always put so much thought and time into everything she did. I know she was blessed by all she did for those around her. 
Until we meet again, 
Sandy ❤


❤ Beautiful spirit! Always kind and always smiling, that is how I remember Kathy.  I feel lucky to have known her. She will be missed, but not forgotten.  ❤

 

Kathy was a wonderful and loving and  caring individual who loved everyone she came in contact with she taught me everything i know about sped. She loves those children as if they were her own. She will be truly missed. In the few years i worked in the classroom with her we built a great friendship and bond. She will be in our hearts always.

I met Kathy Anderson 14 years ago when she hired me to serve as an AB Teacher alongside her. Kathy taught me everything she knew by pouring into my life, and she made me a better teacher.  She also served as our Team Leader, and she got the job done with little effort because the team respected her experience and drive to do the right things for kids. 

She continued the journey of serving each kid everyday, and she loved every child as her own.  Every child that walked into her classroom received her best, and she started each day with a fresh perspective. My prayers go out to her family, the staff, and her students.  

I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing Kathy since she started teaching 23 years ago.  This was the start of her 24th year in education and during this entire time, she never lost sight of her "WHY" she was in education.  She touched the hearts and lives of so many people, teachers, students, and parents in ways we will never know.  Kathy was a true light in the field of education; an example for all to follow.  Her passion for teaching never waived.  She loved each of her students as though they were her own kids.  My heart goes out to her family and friends as they go through this difficult time.  Knowing that I have an Angel like Kathy looking over me gives me comfort and peace.   I am so thankful for being able to have known Kathy and I will forever remember MY FRIEND!  You will truly be missed Kathy.  God's Peace.
 

Kathy, touched so many lives. She was a great mentor and team leader. She knew hew way around a classroom, her students loved her.  I will always cherish her in my heart. She will be loved and missed dearly.💜💜💜

Kathy touched the lives of so many children in her career. She truly thought of them as her kids. She was an important part of our school family and I’m so glad I to have known her. I will remember her with love.
