e she was little, she was very artistic and loved to draw and paint. She frequently drew animals, in particular horses as this was a love of hers. Her passion for art continued into her adulthood at which time she extended her artistic love to photography. This was evident by the number of pictures she had on her phone as well as her Facebook. Kathy loved macro-photography often using her artist eye to capture the most minute details that others frequently missed. Kathy was an avid reader and loved to go to movies. She also spent countless hours during sleepless nights on Pinterest adding to her numerous "boards".
Kathy loved to joke and make people laugh. Her sense of humor was somewhat sarcastic and "over the top". She took great joy in playing pranks on friends and coworkers and strived to make people blush. Kathy shared memes and jokes via messenger and texts with everyone. Her humor was her weapon and her protection. Beneath her outward humor, she was really a shy person. She loved deeply. When she let a person inside her protective walls, they were in her "family". Kathy's life revolved around her love for her family, friends and especially her cats. She loved her nieces and nephews as well as her friends' children as her own kids. Kathy was selfless, compassionate and generous with everyone she loved and even those she barely knew or had just met.
