Kathy had a personality larger than life and lit up any room she walked into! She had an infectious zest for life and was a beacon of love and acceptance to her family and friends.

She will be deeply missed.

Wall & Debra Ramsey Wall of Murrells Inlet; cousin, Cindy (Michael) Compton, of Lyman, SC; second cousins, Chelsea and Christopher of Lyman SC, and Matthew and wife, Hannah of Boiling Springs, SC; Uncle Donnie Barnett of Lyman, SC; grandson, Reagan Lane Nixon and his parents, Clelia and Eric Nixon; extended family, Nancy and Roger Reece, Sandra Hartley and Veronica Burton; and many friends and neighbors.

A Celebration of Kathy's life will be held at First Baptist of Surfside Beach, 711 16th Avenue N., Surfside Beach, SC 29575 on Saturday March 28, 2026 at 1PM.
