Kathie was born on January 19, 1958 in Chicago IL and grew up in Sunnyvale CA where she met and fell in love with her husband of 40 years, Tim. They were blessed with a son in September of 1984, Tom. Shortly thereafter the unimaginable occurred; Kathie suffered a brain hemorrhage that left her with many challenges including right side paralysis as well as speech impairment. She didn't allow it to keep her from raising Tom and enjoying her life to the fullest. They moved to Redding in 1986 and settled into the rural lifestyle they always dreamed of. She was a loving wife and mother who always had a smile on her face and a giggle in her voice. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her Husband Tim McCoy, Son Tom McCoy, Father John Kaminski, Sister Sue (Lee) Feret, Brothers John and Robert (Dawn) Kaminski, Father-In-Law Tom McCoy, Brother-In-Law Richard Pair, Sisters-In-Law Linda (Bob) Stover, Chris Pair, Tammie Blanton and Vella (Richard) Arevalo, along with many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, and Nephews. She was preceded in death by her Mom Myrna Kaminski, Mother-In-Law Imogene McCoy, Uncle Eugene Bilecky, and Uncle Paul Jankowski.
Services will be handled by McDonalds Chapel and include a visitation on Thursday afternoon August 30th with burial at the Igo Veterans Cemetery on Friday August 31st at 9:30 am. A Celebration of Life will be held after the burial.
Kathie will forever be our Inspiration for taking what life gives you and making the most of it. May You Dance in Heaven with the Angels until we all meet again.
