Kathy was a proud Finnish girl from Ballard. Her family was her life. She was a wife, mother, grandmother “Nana” and helped everyone who needed it. She loved spending time with her family, traveling, being a Meadowdale Band Booster President, Guardian of Jobs Daughters-Bethel 50, and Cub Scout Den Mom.
She started Goldmark Financial, a mortgage brokerage in 1994, helping thousands of families, over her career, in securing financing for their home. And she had been in the mortgage industry since 1981.
As well, Kathy was a Snohomish County PUD Commissioner from 1995-2018. She broke the glass ceiling and was a trail blazer, as the first female commissioner. Kathy proudly served and was a voice for the rate payers, employees and the utility. She was proud of all she contributed.
