Brandy and Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I remember my babysitting days; I always looked forward to seeing you and your mother. My Mom also passed at the age of 72; it's too soon. I pray she passed away peacefully. I love you both.

I will always see your mouth twitch you had, just before you let out a funny remark ! You and Barb goofing off in my kitchen at the Legion, your too far apart visits here at my home. I will always remember you with your smile, puppy dog looks you gave, and smart remarks. My first thought was I could get even at last if the Preacher (you know!), did your service. You were frustrating, strong willed, funny, kind, a heart of gold, and always reliable ....you were indeed, one of a kind!! You and Barb behave up there..... until we meet again, Kathy. Thank you, for being you.

So sorry for your loss. I can just picture my mom greeting Kathy and immediately needing a good networking debrief. Thinking of you all during this difficult time

I just loved Kathy. I loved how we went to eat dinner then played BINGO. It was so much fun. I'll always remember when we went to the pumpkin fest in Tioga and I told her to put her name in the drawings. She said she never wins but I insisted and I do believe that she won 3 drawings that night. She called me and told me she had won and she couldn't believe it. I remember going too the clothes closet on Mondays and then Tuesdays. We had a blast. I already miss her. I love her and her family. Sending prayers and love to her family.

Kathy, I don't know what to do without you. Our 2 hour talks almost every night. I could talk to you about anything. You felt like a sister. You have been a very good friend for 40+ years. And all the fun we had in those years. I will never have a friend like you again. You are one of a kind. RIP Kathy
See you in heaven. Love you Carla

Kathy was very personable and fun classmate and radio personality and dj. I always had so much fun delivering UPS packages to KTGO and she always had a funny joke or comment and than she’d always play my requested song on air when I left. I enjoyed running into her after I retired and visit about family and any stray cats or dogs that we rescued. Your all in our thoughts and prayers
