Kathy Collins gave so much music to us in the orchestra. First, her beautiful music playing the bassoon was the music to stabilize the wind section as well as the whole orchestra. Second, the music of her personality, smile and warm responses to share the music with everyone through consistent and efficient ticket sales. She gave us these two central types of music with all her joy.
We will miss her greatly!

Tom and family-
My deepest of sympathies to all. Kathy was a special, kind, caring person with a ton of talent. Kathy helped me through Dr Cohens Music Theory classes at SNC (along with her brother Rick) and was a valued colleague in symphony. We chatted numerous times over the years at State Festival. She was always a delight. Thoughts and prayers are with all.

Tom, I am so very sorry for your loss. We lost a wonderful music director at St, John's when we lost Kathy. When she came back part time I did encourage her very strongly. That was just before she got sick.
May God bless you and give you His Peace.
