I’ve known Kathryn since I was a child met her at church . I will miss her spunkyness . My sincere condolences.
I’ve so enjoyed traveling to ABWM women’s meetings around our state as well as working with her on our ABWM Retreats. She was a great lady and one that I will miss. I had a great deal of respect for Kathryn, she was a wonderfully, mission minded lady and one that left a lasting impression on me. She will not be forgotten
I was ordained and pastored Kingsbury Baptist Church in 1986 – 1988. Wonderful memories of Kathryn still remains in me during my pastoral ministry. She was very active in the local ministry of the church particularly on missions and Womens Ministries within the Association, Regional and Statewide. Very supportive and encouraging woman in my ministry. She will be missed but her love and witness of Christ in her life have touched and blessed many lives.
