Kathy was a good person. I had the privilege to work with her at DSS a few years back. She cared about the people she worked with and she never held herself above anyone. Rest in peace Kathy.

Kathy was the sweetest person, and so easy to talk to. She always had a good attitude even when things were going wrong. I loved to hear her laugh, and I loved her wisdom. She was a hard worker and cared a lot for the kids that she helped on a daily basis. I will miss her dearly. And I pray her soul is at peace. I also pray for her family, and hope they will know just how many lives Kathy touched.

I worked with Kathy on many cases over the years. She was always kind and respectful to others, even those who might have made some poor life choices. I never once saw her looking down on or ignoring the people she was there to serve. She was a breath of fresh air in a very tough business that needs more like her. My heart goes out to her family in their loss. I will miss Kathy very much...
