Family always came first. Kathy made every minute of her life count for something. She was a musician and an artist. She loved to paint and explore her creativity. She loved to cook for her family, hunt, & fish and even did a little gardening. She handled everything from successful hunting and fishing trips to putting the food on the table. She did not waste a thing! Most friends were unaware that she had gone through many health issues from the time she was in her early twenties. She did not complain and required little sleep.
