      Kathy attended Jefferson Elementary School, South Junior High and graduated from Borah High School.

      After high school she attended Boise Junior College and then received her Masters in Education from the University of Idaho.

      She began her teaching career at Vale Union High School in 1970, as a typing instructor, then moved into counseling, and finished her career in special Education, which became her passion.

      While at VHS she was an advisor for cheerleading, volleyball and ASB. She was a true Viking, a fan of all sports.

      Together they raised three children, Joe, AJ and Sarah on "The Farm.

      She loved the farm life; especially raising and showing her natural colored sheep.

      After 37 years at VHS she retired. Jim and Kathy were then able to enjoy their time traveling to the Fairs, visiting their favorite places, Reno and Southern California.

      She was also able to spend the last 8 years working with her daughter at Luzetta's, where her love for coffee and sweet treats became a daily routine.

      She was also fortunate to see her grandchildren every day. Kathy was very proud of her family, being a Mom, Nana and Auntie meant everything to her.

      She will be remembered by her lullabies, her famous pancakes, her kindness to others and her love.
