Kathy started her education at Cameron Elementary in Greeley and graduated from Greeley West High School in 1970. She was a member of the Greeley West Poms team and recently reconnected with treasured friends at her 50th class reunion.

Kathy enjoyed gardening and hiking & camping with her family. Tennis was a common interest of her and Ricky, often traveling to major tournaments. Her most treasured time was spent with family, especially with her grandchildren who fondly referred to her as "Grammie." Kathy often helped them perform plays for family holidays, always had a craft table stocked, activities planned and a home-cooked meal prepared. Reading was a passion Kathy shared with her grandchildren and she read countless books to them. Kathy shared a special bond with her treasured friends, especially her prayer group who met regularly for over 30 years. They were devoted to Jesus and to one another in a way that many admired.

As a member of Christ Community Church, she was involved in many church ministries and volunteered countless hours in the nursery.
