Your laughter, wisdom, kindness, and love is terribly missed by so many of your loved ones.

See you on The Otherside, beautiful lady.

Our dear sweet Kathy - you made the world shine with your love, smiles, laughter, and wisdom. You have no idea how much you are missed, by so many.   - Mary Dobrin

We miss your beautiful heart, sweet smile, glowing love and radiance. Bob, Susan, Mike and I gathered for an outdoor picnic in celebration of your life -- but of course you would know that.

You are at peace now.  I remember we went to the same grade school and high school.   We graduated together in 1970.   I will remember all the great times we had as friends.  I will remember the visit I had with you at Heartland of Beavercreek.

Dear Kathy, 
      You’ve left us too soon dear friend, but our lives are richer for having known you.  How lucky for me that I got to know you right after you joined the faculty of DPHS. Your delightful sense of humor and ready laugh made you so much fun to be around. You gave me many rides home in your fire engine red Trans Am and we would often sit in the driveway and talk just a little longer. And we’d laugh too, of course. That’s a memory I will cherish. 
      Kathy, you always put others’ needs before your own and your thoughtfulness was boundless. So often you would show up with a gift or a prepared dish—arriving empty-handed was not the way you operated.  You always gave of yourself and for the rest of us that is a priceless gift. 
      May you be at peace.
      





It was our sincere pleasure to teach with Kathy at Deer Park. We cherished her friendship, her quick wit, and bubbly laughter. She was an excellent and intelligent teacher and quite the avid book reader. In earlier days there were 4 of us at Deer Park High School including Kathy who were expecting babies all at the same time. Of those 4 children born, 3 were boys and Kathy and Bob had the only girl. We teacher parents all bonded via our children. Our son, Jefferson remembered what a great, kind, and fun field trip mom she always was. Kathy and Bob's bright and lovely daughter Kristy was the light of their lives. Ted and I had the enjoyment of teaching Kristy in junior honors and senior A.P. English. Kristy was the scholar blend of two amazing parents and showed this as valedictorian of her 2008 class. In Kathy's enthusiastic and gracious presence, you always knew that you were being highly valued for whatever was being discussed. That was her special gift to us all. 

Sweet Kathy, I will always remember your sweet stories, your beautiful face and smile, that infectious laughter, along with your immense kind heart;  as well as our fun conversations over the many years.‎ You loved life and all those around you. Your family was the light of your life. The barn days with Kristy riding horses, you and Bob so proud of your lovely daughter, these will be only a few of the cherished memories I will always hold close and dear to my heart. You were an angel here on earth. The only thing that has changed is now you have your wings. 

We know you will be watching after all of us.
With love, fond affection, your forever friend,

Mary W. Dobrin

Kathy was my Home Economics teacher in high school and I had the pleasure of knowing her later in my life when our children were in the same class and played on the same sport teams. She was one of the most gracious and welcoming people I have ever met. She leaves a very accomplished daughter and newly retired husband. I wish you both light in the darkness and know that I will be throwing hugs at you from Deer Park.
