Katia met her husband Phito in 1986, and they later solidified their loving bond through marriage on June 29th 1996. With time, the couple welcomed three children into their home Kayla, Isadora, and Andrew. Katia set about teaching them family values, education, and above all else, the importance of honoring Jehovah. Katia was known for being easygoing and for her catchy remarks; for example, when people would ask how she was doing, she would answer with a simple “ mwen pa piyay”. Katia’s children remember her as being brave, A servant of Jehovah, supportive, kind, funny, a great dancer, and the life of the party. Phito, her loving husband, was always by her side every step of the way.

Katia was a teacher and she dedicated her life's work to fostering the youth and building their confidence through education and literacy. Katia was an accomplished painter and often displayed her artwork wherever she could. This included the walls, ceilings, counters, and even mugs. She was a dedicated servant of Jehovah and was extremely proud to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. She was passionate about spreading God’s word and spreading Jehovah’s good news. She made it her life mission to serve Jehovah faithfully to the very end. Whenever she would face difficult trials she would often quote this bible verse found at Philipians 4:6,7 “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus”.
