"I will miss her wonderful laugh and her great friendship..She will always be my Bloody Mary from South Pacific. "
"I also grew up with Kathy and am terribly shocked by her illness and what seemed to me to be a sudden death. Kathy was a people person and brought happiness and laughter where ever she went. She missed Robbie so, and cherished Ryan with all her heart. She was a wonderful grandmother whose grandchildren were her life. Thank you Ryan and family for being with her, supporting her and fulfilling her wishes. I will be eternally greatful to Kathy for unknowing leading me to Indiana University Health where I had a successful transplant (thanks to her message) just a few months before she became ill. God bless her "
"I am in utter shock at the loss of Kathy. She had just called a couple months ago to get back in touch I missed her call and returned and she missed mine. We became facebook friends. Couple weeks ago I read she was sick and prayers for her. Iworked in a beauty shop with Kathy years ago and she helped my brother get on with the street dept. She sang at my wedding and we had so much fun. I remember when you were little Ryan. Time gets away from us but your Mom and I knew we were great friends. I am so sorry to read about her death. May she rest in peace and always close to my heart. mber whe you were little Ryan"
"I still can't believe you have left us. This coming Wednesday would be our first bible study of the year. I will always cherish the times we shared on your deck, drinking coffee and tea and talking about the Lord. Sherri and I will continue the tradition and there will always be a cup of coffee sitting there in your honor. I love you dear friend and you will never be forgotten. Proverbs 17:17 Friends love at all times. I love you, Teresa "
"Kent and I express our condolences to Kathy's family and friends."
"Sorry for my late entry, just found her Obituary. Kathy was such a good friend for pretty much all my life. We grew up together on 6th st. in Muscatine. We shared a love for the theater and music and all of our high school friends. She was a tireless supporter of the Class of '64' reunions, bringing many people together who hadn't been in contact for years. May God bless her soul!"
"I didn't grow up in Muscatine, so my first memory of Kathy was when I first came to town and auditioned for the musical "Cinderella." She played the part of the step mother and I was Cinderella. We had so much fun in that show, and laughed so hard!! That was the first of many shows we were in together. Such fond memories! She will be deeply missed, but it's comforting to know, that as a follower of Jesus, she is now in her greatest role yet, in the Kingdom of Heaven! "
"Kathy did a wonderful job in getting classmates together for lunch, dinner, etc. She had an uplifting personality and was always good for some laughs. She will be greatly misses."
"We had lots of fun with theater friends, and Kathe kept us all in stitches with her stories. And she sang notes that worked lower than I ever went "like the frame of a dame" (from South Pacific) Judged pageants with her and Debbi and Melissa....I will have sweet memories of times together."
"What I am going to miss is stopping by her house on a late summer afternoon, having an iced tea, and sitting on her deck talking and laughing. Those are the times I will always cherish. "
"We worked on Masquers' shows together several times. She was a marvelous Mrs. Paroo from "Music Man"! She nailed the accent. Sure and begorrah... "
"She always had a smile on her face, and was an extremely nice person."
"Kathy was a close neighbor to me for many years and Ryan was our adopted grandson. They both spent a lot of time with us while Ryan was growing up. Kathy made the very best chicken and noodles of anyone. She always shared them with me. We became lifelong friends and Christian soul-sisters in the years that we knew one another. I will miss that hearty laugh and kind disposition. Rest well dear friend. "
