Kathy Craft Obituary
Kathy's love touched everyone she ever met. There is no better example of kindness and generosity. Her beautiful, bright smile and great sense of humor brought so much laughter and joy to all who had the pleasure to know her. Kathy's love for others and for the Lord was evident in her personality and interactions.
Kathy is survived by her loving husband, Jesse Craft, her daughter Candice Cole, her son Jesse Fruge, her son Clayton Holland and wife Magen, her grandchildren Logan, Levi, Morgan and husband Garrett Nichols, and her great-grandchildren Laine and Ayden. She is also survived by her siblings Jean, Dozie, Lilly, George, Danny, Shirley, Clada, Bonnie, Tan, Reina Norwood, and many nieces and nephews. Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, her first husband Alton "Pudgy" Holland, and her siblings Kelly, Tan, John, Floyd, Marvin, Grady, and Robert Norwood.
Kathy attended Reeves High School and touched many lives as she moved around before settling in Lake Charles, La. She praised God at Livingway Pentecostal Church, where she found strength in God. She cherished her time spent worshipping and all cherished witnessing it.
In her free time, Kathy enjoyed visiting with loved ones for long hours on the porch, sharing the gospel, and playing FarmVille. These hobbies brought her joy and allowed her to connect with others on a deeper level.
A celebration of Kathy's life will be held on Saturday, January 13, 2024, from 2-6 pm at the Reeves Recreational Center, located at 99 Ford St. in Reeves, Louisiana. The ceremony will be a time to remember and honor Kathy's life and the impact she had on those around her.
Kathy Arline Craft will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of love and kindness will continue to inspire and bring joy to those who carry her memory in their hearts.
