Kathy Cowser Obituary
Kathy's greatest joy was her family, especially her two granddaughters, with whom she loved spending time. She was the life of the party everywhere she went and had many dear friends who will remember her fun loving sense of humor.
Kathy is survived by her daughter, Shelby Lovera; son, Christopher Cowser; sister, Denise Davis; granddaughters Liliana and Elina Lovera; and niece and nephew, Marisa and David Ramsey. She was preceded in death by her parents, Patsy and David Gardanier, and her brother, Scott Gardanier.
A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Arlington, TX on Saturday, August 10th at 10:00am. Kathy's life will be celebrated and remembered as a beacon of joy and family devotion. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

my aunt Kathy was one of the most adventurous people I know, I enjoyed being her niece. somehow I got missed on the chain of people that you contact when someone they love is gone so this is late her nephew James Cowser passed last week. That was my brother. I have some of my favorite memories of my cousins and my aunts and uncles I miss my whole family, but we all live so apart now I hope you have peace and joy and that their parties in heaven and bowling so much bowling. or when my aunt had a hairstylist come to her house to save me from my mom cutting my bangs crooked again.

A great memory I have is when my cousin Brian and I went down to Texas a few years ago to see our cousins Denise and Kathy and Kathy busted out her most precious wine, Scarecrow. This rare wine can only be purchased after you are accepted from a waiting list that takes years and it is insanely expensive and was incredibly great and I love telling that story all the time, especially when I finally got to go to Napa for the first time and I was bragging about how I tasted this wine and even all the big shots out there were very impressed that I knew about it All of us hung out at Denise and Guy`s house that day and night and had a great time sipping wine and telling stories and I am so grateful for that time. I will miss you

I met Kathy when we both worked in Arlington, after work we would go back to her house and catch up on All My Children. She was always the life of the party. Sorry for your loss. Kathy will always be remembered.

I remember being my family's apartment back in 1965. I was 5, Dee was 6, Kathy and my brother Jim were 7 and my brother Tim was 8. We all sat on the floor with the bedroom lamp in the middle of the circle and sang "sing around the campfire, join the campfire boys and girls" the girls stressed the word girls and the boy the word boys. That's when we had to use our imaginations. Even though Kathy wasn't the oldest, she was still "in charge". I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with "my nieces and nephew" even though we were about the same age. Miss you Kathy.
