Katie was a lovely lady. I knew Katie from Brith Sholom Center. She was such a hard and dedicated worker with her dear husband Charlie. She was the President of the Women's Auxilliary for many years. Katie participated in many events through the years with Charlie, especially at Bingo. She was reliable and worked hard, always with a smile on her face. The last time I saw Katie was at The Terrace when it celebrated it's 5th anniversary. I sent Katie and Charlie a picture I took on that day. I loved Katie.I miss her. May she rest in peace.
