Kathy was born on December 18, 1950 in Troy NY. She graduated from Averill Park High School in 1968 and continued to further her education. She spent many years working for Highgate and Northwoods Rehabilitation Center until retirement. Kathy loved doing arts and crafts, she could be found attending many rubber stamp conventions and classes. She was an avid owl collector and had a love for Elvis. She enjoyed watching her grand and great grandchildren grow and loved showing them off to everyone. She also opened up her heart for her “adopted” grand daughter Jill Evans of Fayetteville, NC and her four children Jaydin, Ryleigh, Hannah and Tori.
