For many years, she raised and showed rabbits, she also raised chickens and was known as the "egg lady." In addition, Kathy enjoyed hanging freshly washed laundry up to dry, reading her Bible, and a good game of Dominos. However, there was nothing better for her than time spent with her grandchildren who she dearly loved. She is remembered as a loving mother and grandmother.
