She was born on June 11, 1950, in Scioto County, Ohio, to the late Clyde Smith and Darlene (Pyle) Hunt. Known as Mamaw, Kathy was a loving Mother, Grandmother, and soon-to-be Great Grandmother. She is survived by her two sons, Charles (Jeannette) Cook of Columbus, Donald (Tanya) Cook of Grandview, and her daughter Shawna (Charles) Casey of Grandview. Kathy leaves behind a cherished legacy through her seven grandchildren: Chris (Kylea) Cook, Carena Cook, Cody, Trey, and Hayley Cook, Donny and Kyle Casey. She also leaves behind a sister, Vikki (Larry) Smith of Wheelersburg, and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Kathy was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Cook, and beloved mother, Darlene Hunt, and stepfather, Don Hunt.
Having dedicated 30 years of service, Kathy retired from the Ohio Bureau of Workman’s Compensation. She found joy in spending time with her family, attending her grandchildren’s sporting events, and visiting Vikki and Larry. Kathy was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first great-grandchild, Hudson. She touched the hearts of everyone who knew her, and her absence will be deeply felt.
Funeral services will be held on June 28, 2023, at 12:30 p.m. at Advantage by Schoedinger North, 5554 Karl Rd, Columbus, OH. Visitation hours will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Kathy will be laid to rest next to her husband at Kingwood Memorial Park.
