Kathy trained me when I first started at Albright & Thiry and can still hear the way she would answer the phone! Whenever I hear someone say “kiddos” I always think of her! Will certainly miss seeing her and thankful to have had the pleasure of knowing her! Thoughts to her family 🤍

My sincere condolences for the family. I have fond memories of Kathy from our childhood and visits from Wagontown to Columbia which, as a child, always seemed so far. Her months spent at our home in Wagontown will always be etched in my mind. May she rest peacefully in God’s arms and may her family remember her and all the good times, knowing she is at peace.
