Kathy loved life and touched many lives in her short time here on earth. She was a great mom to her adopted children, son John Craig and daughters Chynna and Emerald, and she was very proud of them. She was an avid golfer. An extremely creative person, she was good with her hands. She could fix just about anything. She was a generous, giving person who loved to take in strays, human or animal. Kathy had strong views on many issues. She was a pro-life feminist who believed that a woman can accomplish anything that a man can do, but she also appreciated chivalry. She was an outspoken proponent of and role model for adoption.
