She is an only child; however she grew up with cousins who were like brothers and sisters. Katherine had an idyllic childhood in the small town of Abingdon, VA. After graduating from high school, Katherine attended Sullins College in Bristol, VA where she later served on its Board of Trustees.

She met her future husband, Hunter Galloway, a student at UVA and were married in Abingdon in 1943. Years later, their son and then their grandson would be married in the same church.

Hunter and Katherine celebrated 65 years of marriage. They both had a great sense of humor, loved having cocktails with friends and liked to sleep late. They were perfect for each other!

The newlywed couple lived in Abingdon for several years, then moved to Greensboro when Hunter founded the Galloway Buick Company. They lived in the same house for 52 years. Katherine always thought they would move back to Abingdon to retire, but they made such close, loyal friends in Greensboro they just didn't want to leave them.

Katherine has 3 children: Kay Ivey and her husband Charles; sons, Hunter H. Galloway, III and his wife Debbie, and Ed Galloway and his wife Georgette all of Greensboro, NC. His grandchildren are Patrick, Hunter, IV, Jeff, Andy, Katherine, Victoria Galloway Stern, Austin, Edward, and Charles Ivey, IV; and 5 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her best friend Christine and her family at Well Spring Memory Care.

Katherine volunteered at Moses Cone Hospital for 30 years in Admitting. She also volunteered at First Presbyterian Church.

Katherine has lived a very charmed, blessed life. She is one of a kind and is so very precious to her family. She has always loved her children, husband, friends, church and Abingdon.
