I always loved being around Kathie. Her smile was warming and her positive attitude uplifting. She knew how to make things beautiful and shared that gift whenever we planned Relief Society activities. I don’t remember her ever saying an unkind thing about anyone. She loved her family with all her heart. I can picture her smiling from heaven.
