On July 2, 1965, Kathy married David Young and they had four children. Kathy and David had 41 years together. David proceeded her in death on September 9, 2006.
Kathy was an artist at heart. She loved flowers. All kinds. Spring was her favorite time of year when she could go outside and get her hands dirty. She would quilt, do all sorts of crafts and had a small jewelry business where she made handmade items to wear. But her love was painting and drawing. She was always creating something. Her greatest Superpower was making all projects she worked on harder than they needed to be. If something was easy, she didn't think it was good enough and would start over. She constantly had something in the works and several projects unfinished.
On June 16, 2012, she married James Melvin George. James and his family had been lifelong friends with the Young family. It just made since for them to marry after they both lost their first loves. When they married, Kathryn gained another daughter and three more amazing grandchildren, which she loved as much as her own. James and Kathryn had 10 years together. James proceeded her in death on September 3, 2022.
