My heart goes out to the family and friends of Kathie.Grief can be so hard with the holidays coming up.My prayers and thoughts  are with you all in this time of need. I have known Kathie for many years and I know she will be missed by many people.

I worked for Kathie when she was the swing shift CII Supervisor in RAPP. I was the SPT III. We became good friends. Kathie was a good supervisor and fair.She left RAPP to go to The command center job sharing with Iva Lou Woodring. A year later  when I had a chance to be a CIIS in the command center Kathie was the first person I called for advice. I will miss her

My sincere condolences to all of Kathie's very special family and friends.  She will be greatly missed.

Such a sad day to see Kathie has passed. She and I met 56 years ago in school. We ended up together in the same sewing class and also shared the same sewing basket only because our last names both started with w...hers being Wills and mine Wilton. We were both 12 years old at the time. So we ended up being best friends for many years. Along with my sister Dianne, the three of us would do everything together including visiting the library and getting scowls from the librarian for being too noisy. After graduating from high school I moved away and my communication with Kathie was pretty much limited to Christmas and birthday cards. She had the best sense of humor and I'll always remember our teenage years with Kathie. She was such a good friend. God rest her soul.

Kath, I will miss our Saturday night B street adventures, our dinners, and our daily check in phone calls.  Most of all, I thank God for the people who helped you stay at home during the last 2 1/2 months of your life, for the friends and family who would contact you, and for the blessed way that the Lord took you home.  I am so thrilled you didn't suffer, and in a blink of an eye, were with your Mom, Dad and Rich.  I am still reaching for the phone, wanting to talk.  Will see you soon my friend.  All our lives in this life are so short.  But we will all have eternity to be with God.

I worked with Kathie 27 years ago at the DOJ.
She was a wonderful person with a big hart. One of the greatest supervisors you could have.
She will be missed.

Kathie was always so sweet to me and see will be missed.... I remember about how much she talked about her kitty cats and how much she loved them.... It was so nice to meet someone so kind....

I worked with Kathie at DOJ.  She was funny and one of the sweetest.  She will be missed.

What a loss this is.  Kathleen and I were kindred souls in both our core beliefs and love of animals.  She was the best cousin a person could hope for.  I'll miss her dearly.

I am sadden to hear of Kathie's transition. I met Kathie when I worked at DOJ. She was a joy to be around. I will always remember how she and Bertie and a few others would have occassional "off site meetings." She will indeed be missed.

This lady was the epitome of class and gave me valuable advice on so many things in day to day life and how to be a better supervisor and a person too. I have remembered many of the lessons I learned while I worked with her at the Department Of Justice as well as applying them to my day to day life. She will be missed and I send my prayers to her family in this time of sadness.

She was a great person to work for and was a big kid at heart.  She loved Halloween as much as I did, and enjoyed bringing to work all her silly Halloween toys and had us all at swing shift play with them, no matter how loud they were.  She always made time to listen if you needed to talk.

I love you Auntie and will miss you. You gave me the kind of love I never had but needed. Have a good time in heaven, let everyone love on you. And when Shauna and I get there we'll bring the cards and rule book.
You and Bertie be ready.

I worked with Kathie at DOJ in the Record Review Unit for several years. She was a most kind and compassionate lady, especially to persons in need or animals in need. She loved watching Jerry Springer (ugh!!)... I will miss her very much.

Dear Lisa, Tim, Mary and Kevin,
My heart aches for you. Kathie had such a big heart, and her love for you all was ever-present. I truly enjoyed her sense of humor, much like your Dads!  Her stories were always engaging and full of fun.  She would speak of spending hours on the phone with my Mom, into the wee hours of the morning - warmed my heart because they were kindred "night owl" spirits. I will always be grateful for spending time with her over the past couple of years during your visits; reconnecting, laughing together and discussing her favorite "American Idol".   I will miss her greatly, as I know you all will.
