Kathy James Obituary
April 3, 1955 - August 11, 2023
Our adventurous, fun loving, big hearted, loyal friend passed away peacefully. Kathy fought a lengthy tough battle with cancer and is at long last without pain and celebrating in peace. She never stopped living even when she was dying.
Retired from the Guilford County Sheriff's Department. She was particularly proud of her work assisting in the establishment of the Family Victim's Unit decades ago.
Kathy was openly loving and living life. She loved riding her Spyder, attending bike rallies, an excellent fisher, and an avid car buff.
She touched and inspired many lives and shared lifetime memories with more than most. Her smile was contagious and her heart huge. The world is a better place because of her.
Respecting her wishes there will be no service. If you would like to celebrate Kathy's life do what she would do – listen to a stranger, make a new friend, and hold tight to your ole friends.
In closing we want to extend our sincerest love and appreciation for the angels on earth (Piedmont Hospice Home of High Point) that touched Kathy and us dearly. All of you will be forever in our hearts. Should you wish to make a donation in Kathy's honor – please send to Piedmont Hospice Home, High Point, NC.

I´ll always remember taking the TBird and the Miata though the Tanglewood light show in the middle of winter, light snow falling and cold as all get out, with the tops down. I hadn´t seen you in years, but that memory still remains.
Rest in Peace, Kathy!
