Katie's unconditional love for her family was always returned and she was surrounded by love and affection during her lifetime. Her family will cherish her forever.

Great grandkids - Evan, Joe, Blythe, Tanner, Tyler, Teagan, Adyn, Layla, Alexis, Emma, Jace, Scot, and Casey.
Katie and Ben provided a loving home in Pleasureville for their kids and grandkids, where neighbors took care of each other and each other's kids. Her favorite times were always with family for special events and holidays. Early in life, she liked camping and going to the shore. Later on, Katy enjoyed annual trips to New York City for Broadway shows and lunch with her family. She collected owls and liked watching birds, game shows and sports. Katie was an avid gardener and loved spending time on her porch swing. She was one of the first female bus drivers for Central York School District. She faced many challenges and changes over the years with grace, humor and a little stubbornness.
The family would like to thank the wait staff at Central Family Restaurant, Marino's, Culhane's Steakhouse and The Great American Saloon, all who gave her special treatment and sometimes called her "mom."
Thanks to the many doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who helped her over the years. Also thanks to the staff of SpiriTrust Lutheran, Visiting Angels and Hospice and Community Care, who took such good care of her and showed her amazing compassion in her final days.
