Kat loved her shopping, most recently, Temu became her favorite shop for gifts and new trinkets. She loved taking care of her kids and grandkids, and family was always so very important to her. She never knew a stranger, and had so much love in her heart. She was a great cook, had a green thumb, and for many years traveled to fairs and festivals living that care free lifestyle. She will be missed by all that knew her.
There will be a Celebration of Life service at a later date. Memorials may be made through Affordable Cremation Services of Ohio. Moments of remembrance may be left online at www.cremationservicesofohio.com.
