Kathy was one of the most passionate and loving souls I ever worked with. Always the first to offer help and friendship. Mikey — be strong and be proud of her!

I was so sorry to hear of Kathy’s passing. She was a valued member of our Northview family. She was always willing to help in any way and brought joy to those around her.
