Kathryn Sauers Wansley

Kathy was a lifelong resident of Pensacola, Florida and graduated from Escambia High School in 1974.

Kathy had an infectious smile, quick wit and a kind heart. She was one of the most thoughtful people you could ever be lucky enough to met.

Kathy worked at several jobs throughout her life but most recently at Paul's Pizza Company, she was known as the "work Mom" and loved her job. Kathy was a member of the Flora Bama Church Worship on the Water. She loved talking to strangers, helping people in need, sightseeing, rambling on back roads, keeping up with songwriting friends, spending time with family and special friends, finding deals at Thrift Stores, visiting the beach and being near the water.
