Kathy, a proud graduate of Columbus High School, dedicated her professional career as an Office Manager for Chipman-Harris, MD, leaving an indelible mark on her community. Her commitment to faith was evident in her membership at Aletheia Church, where she found solace and shared her warmth with fellow members.

Kathy's love knew no bounds, and her family was the cornerstone of her existence. She leaves behind her devoted husband Ronnie H. Bush, daughters Shannon Whittington (Charlie) and Amber Bannister (Harry), and four cherished grandsons – Tanner, Walker, Tripp, and Beaux. Her brothers, Raymond Chipman Jr and Dr. Dean Chipman (Wendy), share in the grief of losing such a beloved sister.
