I miss Kathy very much and of her often. She loved Stillwater Church and was a steady, encouraging and creative spirit. Always there for others! I think of her when I use special cream and flavored syrup in my coffee because it was one of her staples!

My memories include Kathy and I working together to decorate the Y for church service. We loved doing that together. Kathy always had her baskets of things from home! Plus we loved going out getting matching candles, flowers and such. Kathy was gifted in making sure everything was inviting for everyone. I miss her transparency, empathy and openness. I miss being able to call or text her. She always had words of wisdom for me. Rather it was my aging dog and his death or lovely situations with our kids, Kathy knew how to encourage. She was an incredible person and I will never stop missing her; but I definitely will never forget the things she taught me.

Kathy was such an encourager. I remember going through the Discipleship class with her at EUM Church. My sympathy to John and the family. Kathy will be missed!
