Kathy was a beloved family friend and beautiful person who brought so much joy to those around her. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and loved.

Kathy and Ralph were always there to cheer me on at big moments, like my graduation and wedding. Kathy was a shining light in everyday moments too, like summer pool parties and Friday night dinners at La Hacienda. I’ll never forget her calling to sing me happy birthday every year, and all the times we sent each other cards just because. Her presence was truly a gift. 

Your friends and family will miss you dearly, Kathy. We will carry your love and kindness with us always. 🕊️

I still can't believe you're gone💔You were the BEST Godmother anyone could have been BLESSED with! I will never do "Word Search's" the same and will ALWAYS think of you when reading The Night Before Christmas😔....REST in PARADISE my sweet Godmother....love you FOREVER Your "Baby doll" Alicia

Dear Family
Kathy was a very SPECIAL LADY!!! We spent many wonderful times  together in the Florida sun. She was always smiling and a very sweet friend. Our shopping trips and out for dinner dates were always as adventure. She was a true caring mother, grandmother and friend.
She loved her family and was so very proud of all of them.
She will truly be missed.

With our thoughts and prayers

I met Kathy and Ralph 30 years ago. Originally for business but friendship developed. We had many happy get togethers. Kathy was so proud of her children and grandchildren . She spoke of them often. We had many happy meetings over the years and she always treated me with kindness and friendship. I didn’t speak to her much after she moved. I will retain the memories of her the rest of my life.  May she be with GOD.

I met Kathy while living in Florida. Right away we became dear friends. She was like a second mother to me. Our memories I’ll cherish forever. Rest in peace my dear friend. Until we meet again. . .

I met Kathy when we where teenagers at Brighten Pool . She was know as Mouse due to her small structure.  She was loyal to her friends and kind to a vault. We connected years later when our two kids started kindergarten together and our second kids began 4 yrs later at Glendale elementary . We lived in the same neighborhood for many years and watched our kids grow up and get married. It was great times until they werent . I have felt so upset since seeing her in the nursing home and seeing her so weak. 
Kathy will be in Heaven for sure. Hope to meet her again. Love to her and her wonderful children. Marci
