Kathy’s happiest times were spent with her family, friends, and numerous horses, dogs, and cats. Kathy spent her whole life with horses. She loved caring for her horses, horseback riding, and teaching others to ride. She enjoyed hobbies such as tending to her gorgeous flower gardens, sewing, crafting, and working sudoku puzzles.
