She is survived by her only son, Mike (Sandy) Quick Jr.; grandchildren, Matt Quick and Megan Quick; brothers, David (Pat) Oglesbee and Neal (Sarah) Oglesbee; and nieces, Jenny (Oglesbee) Griffith, Lee Ella Oglesbee, Mary (Oglesbee) Hunt, Diane Oglesbee and Carrie (Oglesbee) Terrill.
Kathy was a loved mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to many. She enjoyed being involved in the lives of her extended family and friends; everyone was family to Kathy. Her warm laugh, hugs, and positivity will be cherished forever.
A celebration of life was held Sunday, August 8 near her home in Iowa. Graveside services will be held under the conduction of Vernon Vest at Flatwoods Cemetery in Lebanon, MO at 10:30 am on Saturday, August 14.
