Kathy enjoyed spending her time outside in her garden. She grew a variety of vegetables including tomatoes and cucumbers. When Kathy wasn`t in her garden you could find her inside watching television. Her favorite things to watch were Fox News, Naked and Afraid, and Days of our Lives. If you had seen Kathy out and about it would at her favorite store Salvation Army Family Store, she was in there 2x a day those girls that worked there new her like family. Her favorite foods were tacos, fish, and vegetable soup. If she went out for dinner, you could bet on finding her at Best Buffet, Maid Rite, or Hooeys. Kathy also enjoyed growing flowers. Her favorite flowers to grow were the Cannas that attracted hummingbirds. She asked for a plant every spring from her daughters to watch grow on her porch. Her favorite was the Mandevillas they grew so big and beautiful. They gave her peace as she sat and watched her neighborhood. Above everything Kathy loved her family and relished in the time she spent with them.
