Kathy Ann Saunders

Kathy Ann Saunders was born to the late Wayne Mitchel and B Mae Allen in Erick, Oklahoma on October 21, 1948. When she was five, the family moved from Oklahoma to Texas where she graduated from Amarillo High School and continued her education at Amarillo College, earning her Associate of Science degree in 1968. After raising two children, Kathy returned to full-time employment at Mitre where she worked for 38 years, starting at the Houston, TX office and then accepting a position in the McLean, VA office, where she resided for the past 28 years. Kathy was blessed with two children that she raised in Houston, TX as well as three grandchildren that still live in Texas. She spent countless hours shuttling the children between scouts, soccer, baseball, softball, football, ballet and volleyball - where she was always their #1 fan. A member of the Taylor Lake Christian Church in Seabrook, TX, Kathy enjoyed singing in the choir and participating in leadership roles as an Elder. In the summers she found peace and comfort at the family cabin in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where she visited with her sisters and extended family. She passed along her love of the mountains to her children and grandchildren. Kathy is survived by her son, Paul Keith Saunders II, and daughter, Carolyn Marie Potter; her grandchildren James Saunders, Josef and John Potter; her sister Mary Karen Allen; niece Stefanie Broom and nephew Michael Riley. Kathy is proceeded in death by her sister Kristy B Riley and her parents. Services will be held with family in Denver, Colorado.
