Read MoreI believe that Kathy may have been the most positive friend I have ever had. She made such good suggestions, encouraged me to try many new things and always wanted to know what I thought. I will miss her bold spirit.

Rich Schroeder was a lifetime friend of mine and I met Kathy after they were married . Kathy brought a lift to Ritchie´s life that was very evident. She was so down to earth and and gracious. She brought such happiness to Ritchies life. I will miss both of them

In the fall on 1967 I met Kathy when we both started at Whitman College. I had come all the way from Minnesota and it would be too expensive to go home for Thanksgiving. Kathy got me invited to come home with her. She shared her warmth and cheer with friends all her life. RIP and she'll live on in her daughters.

Kathy was such a nice person, warm, friendly and always with a smile on her face. It was always nice to see Kathy when I worked at Washington Square. I was sad to read this and send condolences to her daughters.

We had good times through the years, from Whitman College and our many Theta reunions. Kathy´s laughter and enthusiasm were spontaneous. She loved her family with all her heart.

Kathy was a very dear friend. I was blessed to have her in my life. I was always amazed at how gifted she was. She tackled just about anything. She was a wonderful homemaker as well as a gifted craftsman. I will miss my friend. Kathy was a kind and loving friend. She leaves behind a wonderful family. Heidi and Julie you each have qualities of your mom. We won´t forget her. Thinking of you, Linda Carpenter
