Kate Cotten Obituary
Kate spent the last 40 years in Tucson selling real estate with several companies and becoming a real estate broker owning Cotten Real Estate beginning in 2001. She enjoyed selling homes, meeting people and matching buyers with their perfect home.
Kate had the biggest heart and a beautiful smile. She was incredibly witty, fun and adventurous. Kate was a loyal friend and a devoted sister. She made everyone who came into her life feel welcome and important.
Kate leaves two brothers, Sam Cotten and Lamar Cotten in Alaska, and sister Eileen Jordan in Massachusetts as well as nephews and a niece. The family is especially grateful to Carolyn Goldschmidt, Kate's long-time and devoted friend who cared for Kate during her last difficult year dealing with cancer.
A celebration of Kate's life will be held in March in Tucson. For details, please email Carolyn [email protected].

I loved sitting and hearing Kate's adventures in Alaska. She was my neighbor for a few years and friend for many. Life can get in the way and I thought to call you. We are very sad to hear the news. You are missed by the Hayes family.
