Kathy was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, mother- in -law, sister, aunt and friend to many. She enjoyed the role of being a nanny to her grandchildren that she cherished so deeply. She earned the names “Nanny and Aunt KK” and did a great job showing each one that they were loved. She was a member and was known as “the glue that held them together” of the Sisters in Christ Worship Team. Kathy was the first lady of Faith Bible Tabernacle Church which her husband pastors and has for many years. She had a sweet and humble heart that touched so many.

She will be missed by all. “Called home but never forgotten.”
