Kathy Mae (Drinning) Hooks

She was born on September 15, 1957 in Dallas, Texas to Horace Clinton Drinning and Freddie Lee Green. Kathy was raised in Dallas, Texas and during her younger years, Kathy helped her mother and siblings operate a local burger restaurant. After completing her high school education, she graduated from Remington College in 1980. She then became a Medical Assistant and X-Ray Technician (among other things) at Medical City Dallas, where she worked for over 30 years. She had three children.

In her spare time, Kathy enjoyed walking her dogs, listening to music, and reading her Bible. Kit-Kat was an early bird who loved watching unsolved mysteries and other crime shows, riding motorcycles and sharing laughs with family and friends on Facebook. She was always busy in the yard, or cleaning and caring for her fur babies Little Bit and Gypsy.

Her family and friends will always remember her as a sweet and uplifting, genuine and strong-willed woman who stepped up after her mother passed. She was known to everyone by her nickname "Kit-Kat".

She is preceded in death by her son, Jason Krob; her grandson, John "Boo-Boo" Creamer; her sister and brother; her mother "Mimi" and her father; as well as her niece and nephew.

Kathy leaves behind her step-father, Joseph Shipp; her brother, Doyle Drinning; her daughters, Jamie Cloud and Jennifer Creamer; her grandchildren, Ryan, Haily, and David Creamer, Justin Julianna, Jayden Cloud, and Brandon, Gracie, and Darian Krob; her great-grandchildren, Jace, Colton, Watson, Levi, Oakland, Kinsley, and Kallie; as well as a host of other great-grands, nieces, and nephews.

She will be missed dearly by all those who knew and loved her.
