Growing up on the farm, Kathy loved all outdoor activities, especially horseback riding and fishing. She was always proud of her Camero and loved to go to street rod shows. She also enjoyed painting after taking art lessons as a young adult. In the nursing home, she played many hours of card games with her Mother, especially Skip-Bo.
