So sorry to hear this. Ms. Kathy was super kind and one of a kind. I have known her several years through real estate closings and even the event center at Riverbend. She was always kind and so easy to work with. She will be missed.

I will truly miss Kathy, especially her smiling face and quick wit. Linda Harrison in her tribute said it best: Kathy loved life, lived it to the fullest, and brought so much joy to the lives of everyone who knew her. Rest in peace, dear friend.
Our most gracious Heavenly Father, today, December 13, 2014 we gather together in memory of our beloved friend Kathy. I ask that you bring comfort to her daughters Brandy and Karrie, her grandchildren Nathan, Cody, Logan and Caylen, her fiancé Marvin, her best friend Lee Ann, and the rest of her family, friends, and people whose lives she touched and brought such joy and fun to. Her kindness and generosity cannot be spoken of enough. Kathy enjoyed life to the fullest and she wanted to make sure all those around her enjoyed it also. She loved people and never met a stranger. I thank you God for bringing Kathy into my life and the many memories we created and shared over the past 50 years. She was always there when I needed her and will forever be missed. God, you have truly received and angel. Rest in peace, my friend, rest in peace.
Sorry for your loss Mr Michael and Mrs Nell Thinking of you..

I just found out this just a few minutes ago. She was one of the coolests friends I had. A really easy woman to talk to. I’m so sorry to hear this. God love you Kathy!
Words cannot express the sympathy that I have for the passing of Kathy, she was definatly one of a kind, she had the BEST sense of humor and always had a listening ear if you needed one. My prayers are with the family.
I have so many memories as a child that include Ms. Kathy. She will be missed. You all are in my and my families prayers.
This is such a shock to hear of Mrs. Kathy’s passing. She was such a wonderful and king lady during my years as a student at Ralph Askins. My condolences to the family, will keep you in my prayers.
Surely do miss you already and it’s almost too much to take in. we so enjoyed you in the office. We will miss you. I have learned a good lesson that you just never know when time is up so we need to pray everyday and ask God’s mercy and forgiveness so we can be assured if our time comes, we are ready to go. Kathy was a wonderful friend to me and to others who knew her. Life will be strange without her coming into the office and always having something to say and tell us all. She was an excellent Realtor and and a great friend. We always said we were going to move to Panama together, time was just never right. Rest easy Kathy. We Love you. MaryT

Kathy was an amazing friend who was always there for my family whenever we were in need. We knew we could never repay her thoughtfulness. She will be greatly missed!

My Dear Friend, Hey Sister,
I will remember your laughter, your smile, and your friendship. You called me your sister every time we saw each other. You were a big sis to me! You taught me compassion, and toughness.

Remember when Kathy came to work at the Exchange. She was so funny, always joking and always had a smile on her face. She will be missed. A loving, caring lady. Prayers for her family who will have to carry on without her sweet nature guiding them. Rest in Peace Kathy.
Kathy you will be missed. As a fellow realtor having worked with you several times over the years going through some tough and some easy sales. Enjoyed you. God bless your family and may the Lord give them strength and grace to deal with your passing.
