I had never heard of " collaborative divorce", but so glad to have Kathy help us through the process. My former husband and I remain very good friends 7 years after divorce. We credit Kathy's gentle, compassionate approach as a significant factor in allowing that to happen.

To her family: I met Kathy in 1973 in Tulsa Oklahoma at a "law wives" club. Both of our husbands were in law school at Tulsa University. Kathy was ready to go to law school and handed her job at "On the Bricks" over to me. I worked there for three years and then on to Wisconsin where I was I management for the Wisc. Department of Corrections for most of 40 years. When people ask me how I got into corrections being a UW English major, I always tell them about Kathy, a smart kind girl I met from Wisconsin when I lived in Tulsa. I was so sad to see the notice of her passing today. I can close my eyes and still see her laugh. She moved to Tosa and so did we....She was one special lady.....Patricia Thomey

Kathy was always kind and compassionate, even in the most challenging of situations. She had the beautiful ability to genuinely appreciate those with perspectives different from her own. The world was a better place with her in it. She will be greatly missed.
