She grew up in Kent graduating from Kent High School in 1940. Katie was the eldest of a family of eight children surviving all but the 3 youngest until her death. She met the love of her life, Bob Farley and married in 1945, and raised her children, Steve and Colleen in West Seattle. She returned to Kent for her retirement life and loved to spend time in Palm Desert during the winters. She was a woman of great faith and very true to her Irish descent, husband, and family.

May her Irish Eyes forever smile upon us. A special thank you to Arbor Village, Dr. Toulouse, Valley Medical Center and Garden Terrace for all their care.
