Katherine and Martin were married October 3, 1947, and celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary in 2014. She was a faithful servant of the Lord teaching Sunday School, serving in the Women's Missionary Union and the church nursery.

She was a real estate agent in Hialeah and Orlando area until retiring.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her and remembered as a good, honest, faithful Christian woman and a friend to all. We look forward to being with her again in Heaven.
