Kathee was a free spirit.

She was adventurous, outgoing, and had a love for the outdoors, especially the ocean.

Favorite past times were spent around a campfire surrounded by friends and family, whom she loved with every fiber of her being.

As she always said, “I love you huge”.

She was affectionate, fun, and full of laughter.

She warmed our souls.

We are blessed to have had her in our lives.

She is now with our Lord and our other family members where we know she is making them laugh once again.

We will miss her tremendously.
