She received her undergraduate degree from ETSU and her graduate degree from Auburn University. She loved people and pursued a career in education teaching Spanish at Sullivan East High School. Kathy's resilient, optimistic spirit was well known to all who knew and loved her. We may all take comfort knowing she is running free now with her Lord in Heaven.

What a wonderful person Kathy was! I had her as a teacher in high school for Spanish (she was an absolutely wonderful teacher). She was always upbeat and positive in spite of the physical limitations life had presented her with. She was a shining example of giving glory to God no matter what. I kept up with her in recent years over Facebook and she was always a joy and encouragement to everyone. She will be so missed by all of us who knew her. I praise God that you´re in the presence of the Father now.

To Kathy's remaining family:
I was so honored to know Kathy since high school. The first time I met her was my sophomore year in French 2. She was such a gem and she was so smart! She had the warmest personality and the greatest spirit of anyone I have ever known. Her faith in God was always evident in her daily life. I always enjoyed talking with her and running into her throughout the years while shopping. I am so sorry for your loss, but Kathy has definitely earned that perfect body and eternal life that was waiting for her as her reward! I am blessed to have known her!
