KOOP
Kathy Koop, 69, of New Wilmington, PA passed away Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Born in Cincinnati, OH, she was the daughter of the late Herman and Mildred Koop. Kathy held a Masters degree in Fine Arts from Indiana University and from 1973 to 2010 was professor of art at Westminster College where she inspired generations of students with her love of art and of life. Her door was always open to students, colleagues, and friends alike. She was talented, creative, eccentric, warm and loving. A well known artist, her work has been exhibited at art galleries and museums throughout the United States, Japan, and Malaysia. She is survived by her sisters Jean Anderson of Cincinnati, Patricia Miller of Singapore, several nieces, a nephew and their children, the Fiesta group, and her longtime companion Nancy Mandlove. Kathy touched many lives and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Arrangements by the Smith Funeral Home New Wilmington, PA

Patty and family, so very sorry for the loss of your lovely Kathy, who had a life of great contribution. As we near our 50th Western Hills Reunion, those with whom we shared the years of laughter in those days, will remember Kathy. This photo looks like the same High School Kathy that we always knew. She certainly has light and love in her face. Sincere sympathy. Karen Beatty Holleyhead, Western Hills Class of '63, Cincinnati, Ohio (now live in Houston TX).
