Kathy had endless fond memories of a beautiful childhood in St. Charles, IL. Her years in the Rocky Comfort, MO community held a special place in her heart. She happily raised and cared for many Border Collies and tended to many beautiful gardens. Her greatest passion by far was her role as grandmother. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.
