Kat was raised in Pensacola and has lived here her entire life. Growing up she was a tom-boy and loved to be outside. When her brother was in middle school, she introduced him to Rock-N-Roll and taught him how to dance. On Sunday afternoons, she would audition for a local TV show on Channel 3. Every week they would select the best singers to perform on the show, and Kat was a favorite. Music was a huge part of her life and brought her a lot of joy.
Over the years she worked at Woolworth, Vanity Fair, and Kmart. As her children and grandchildren grew, she was there for every event possible - school activities, sports, music, celebrations, and more. Kat loved traveling with the family on vacation and especially Disney cruises. She loved going to concerts, shopping, and just enjoying life with the people she loved.
Pallbearers will be Woody Thompson, James Cosson, Mark Caraway, Robbie Fish, Winston McIntyre, Sergio Rangel, Grady Walton, and Christopher Swain. The Honorary Pallbearers will be Tyler and Jaden Thompson, Blake Godwin, Calen Arnevik, and Michael Williams.
The family would like to thank the nursing staff, techs, and doctors at Baptist Hospital, as well as the nurses at Covenant Hospice for their support and adopting her as their family.
Kat loved her family more than anything. Her greatest legacy and how she will always be remembered is how she loved and her wit.
