She is also survived by grandsons Mark and Aedyn and sisters Patricia, Judy, Nancy, Peggy, and Dotty. She was preceded in death by son Mark Andrew Gordon and husband Mark and both parents. She was a devoted mother, supportive wife, and cherished sister. Kathy attended Ft. Collins High School in Ft.

Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal.
You are all in my heart, thoughts and prayers. May you find peace knowing she and Mark are together again.

Dear Gordon Family,
I am saddened by the news of the loss of your mom and sister. I was a very long time patient of Dr. Gordon and my stepdaughter attended high school with Drew. I will keep your family in my prayers during this time of loss.
