Kathy Roxanne Warner Groves
Kathy Roxanne Warner Groves, age 53, returned to her Heavenly Father on January 30, 2007. She was born on July 15, 1953 in Rochester, New York to Harold C. and Shirley Ann Perry Warner. She married Gary Groves Sr. on October 1, 1971 in Chesapeake Virginia. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple.
After marriage and starting a family, Kathy and Gary started and ran a business in the Transmission industry for many years. Kathy could change a transmission in her high heels and not break a nail, (and if she did, she knew who to call.) Kathy spent many years at the race track with her husband, family, and friends. She made many unforgettable friends in the Transmission and Racing fields.
Kathy's family was always number one on her list. She loved all of her family and extended family and was willing to help any and all of them. Over the years she has raised many foster children, grandchildren, and her door was always open to anyone in need. She cared for her Dad in his later years and enjoyed caring for Mom Groves through her illness. She loved her children and grandchildren and enjoyed going to their many activities.
Kathy enjoyed her many dogs over the years and considered them her babies. She took care of them and pampered them like no one else could. Kathy never went anywhere without one of her dogs.
She enjoyed doing crafts and scrap booking. She loved to cook and have family gatherings. She always enjoyed decorating her home for every holiday. She always kept her home clean and organized.
She was an active member in the LDS Church and enjoyed learning the gospel and the friendship of many members in her ward.
She was a beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Niece, and Friend.
She is survived by her husband of Provo, her son Gary Jr., her daughter Sissy (Tim) Olsen, 10 grandchildren, and 17 foster children, a brother Jim (Sherry) Matheos of Orem; Two sisters Cindy Brown of Provo, and Mary Ingram of Kentucky. Her MOM in-law Joyce Groves of Pleasant Grove, and three sister-in-laws, Lillie (Steve) Mitchell of Arizona, JoeAnn (Gary) Remund of Idaho; and Sharlene (Eddie) Ambrose of North Carolina. Her Uncle Elwood and Uncle Bobby of Virginia. She was preceded in death by her parents.
