Katie you were always sweet, genuine, and pure. You will be missed by many. Sending prayers of comfort to the family.
Matthew 5:4

Katie and I had some great conversations as I got to know her over the years at SST. We would smile and laugh. Just a genuine sweet person. Your presence is missed and your smile always made me smile. Your kindness radiated.

Katie was such a sweet and pure soul. Always smiling and full of laughs. I send love and prayers to the family at your time of bereavement.

All I can hear in my head is the way you would say “Want” and your brother thinking it was the most hilarious thing. Your adorable personality. The way you loved without question. Your silly ness. The way you took in my boys as if you'd known them since birth. Always remembering to send a new birthday year figurine from your own childhood to Lauren. Always thoughtful, always kind. So very a special to so many people. We have all been to blessed to know you.

In loving memory of a wonderful and beautiful niece.We will love you and miss you always. Happy birthday sweetie .

A sweet beautiful person to know. A special friend you were. I am sad you are gone but never forgotten. Her family will be in my prayers. #Classmate

My sweet friend, Katie. I will never forget all the fun laughs, silly times, beautiful childhood memories. One of the biggest hearts and most gorgeous glowing smile that would light up any room. Will miss you, Katie. My deepest condolences, love, and prayers to the family

This world has truly lost a beautiful soul. You have always been such a sweet and thoughtful friend, always thinking of others. I’m so glad we met back in middle school - oh the fun we had! We made some great memories for sure! Thinking of your family and keeping them in my thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again, my friend!
