Katie was a beautician for decades. Everyone that knew Katie wanted her to cut their hair. She was just better than everyone else, and you always enjoyed sitting in her chair! It was a win/win! Katie enjoyed doing things with her family. She encouraged her children to get involved in water sports. So, family vacations centered around those things. Swimming, canoeing, boating, water skiing, and just being outdoors with her family meant a lot to her. Her kids thank her for that!
She was also a huge fan of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team. She went to Allen Field House many times, and always cheered for them on TV. She bled crimson and blue!
Katie was a devout Christian. She was raised, and raised her family in the Overland Park Christian Church. Recently she was a member of the Legacy Church. God and country were at the foundation of her life. She will be missed, yet celebrated by all who knew her. Her impact on all of us has been uplifting! We thank her for bringing us into her life!
