I didn´t know you, but I want to honor the life you lived and the students you surely touched. A teacher´s impact often echoes far beyond what anyone sees. Rest well, and thank you for the work you gave.

Kathy was so dear to us. Sharing grandson Elden created a special bond. Her sharp wit and thoughtfulness were gifts in our life. Thanks for the memories, sweet Kathy!

Kathy was such a vibrant, fun friend, and so active! She was a ticket-taker at the Pikes Peak Center for many years, Philharmonic subscriber, book club and Pilates class member, dog-lover, just to name a few. Love you Kathy ... Joyce

Remember all the years we car pooled to school and all the fun times we spent together! Many many laughs and long talks. You will be missed.

We're going to miss Kathy so much! It was so sad losing Wayne...and now Kathy, too. She adored her 3 grandchildren -- Willa, Mexia and Elden; and they'll miss her. They'll remember her always, as will we. -- The Martins
