My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. She was missed by her Wilson Greatbatch
friends when she moved out of state, but that was the best thing she could have done. She at least had some time with her family. Take care and remember she is always with you.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I met Kathy through the Harris Hill Vol.Fire Co. We took some country line dance classes together - she enjoyed dancing so much that I know she's kicking up her heels right now. I will always remember her for her fun loving ways and her courage during her challenges. May your fond memories sustain you during these difficult times. Kathy Rider

I was very saddened to hear about Kathy. I worked and trained with her at Wilson Greatbatch and she made me laugh all day. It was a pleasure to have Kathy as a friend and fellow employee and I will miss her very much.
