She also entertained many friends including Gary Player and Gaylord Perry among others. She was also a race horse owner which included many victories for her. She was a 1963 graduate of Johnson City H.S. Kathy was always happy with a smile that shined as bright as a star. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
