Kathryn Helen Leach

1951 - 2015

KATHRYN HELEN LEACH "Kathy" was born on February 13, 1951 and left us too soon on May 16, 2015. We will especially miss her infectious laugh and delicious homemade biscuits that no one else could perfect. A proud member of the Hoopa Tribe, she enjoyed beading jewelry and participated in jump dances in her youth. She loved her four cats as if they were her children. She adored each and every one of her neices and nephews and was inseparable with her sisters. She enjoyed a good football game in her backyard. She had a passion for western movies which she called "her cowboy movies" and never missed a good action movie. Kathy loved to wear her "bling bling" rings and never left the house without perfect makeup and hair. She loved to be surrounded by family. Her quick wit that she brought to the family get-togethers would always bring the house down. She always made everyone feel at home. She is preceded in death by her parents Ruel and Marjorie Leach and brother Ruel Leach Jr. She is survived by her siblings Merriah Leach, Jonathan and Harriet Leach, Joan and Russ Wallace, Annie Leach and Edward and Emily Leach. She also leaves behind nieces and nephews Mia Brown, John Leach Jr., Missy Keisner, Cindy Searle, Deedee Mularky, Barbi Leach, Marjorie Wallace, Stone Wallace, Sandi Wallace, Season Leach, Starlene Leach, Sabrina Leach along with numerous great nieces and nephews. Graveside services are to be held at Willow Creek Cemetery at 11:00am on May 21st. Reception to follow at the Hoopa Fire Hall. Please sign the guestbook at www.times-standard.com under obituaries.
