I only met Kathie about three years ago, but in that time I came to know her and love her. My respect for who she was and all she had done in her life is endless. I was honored to call her my friend. Conversations over many meals revealed to me how important her family was to her. My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. The attached photo is of the group who regularly shared meals, conversation and friendship.

I will miss my dear friend and colleague. We shared our love of anthropology, music, and our mid-western family upbringing. I will remember with gratitude all the many, many times she helped me work on a scholarly paper or community project. She was so generous in sharing her talent and wisdom with me and her many students. I will remember with pleasure her performances with the symphony and our mutual enjoyment of Civic Music and Lawrence University musical evenings.
My heart goes out to her family, the center of her wonderfully lived life.
