Kathy loved the outdoors and all that Wyoming offered and enjoyed it with her family and friends. She had an incredible knack for never knowing a stranger. She would know your life’s story if time permitted during chance meetings. She always had a joke for you and was always smiling. She and her husband grew gardens every year and shared the bounty with neighbors. Kathy loved canning tomatoes and making salsa. At Thanksgiving and Christmas Kathy hand painted cookies to give away, especially to children. This world has lost a beautiful soul, but heaven has gained one.
