My sympathy to Katy’s family. I had the privilege of meeting this great lady in 2014 at Oak Park Place. She was a great friend to my friend Lois who lived across the hall and always liked to joke with my husband Jim on her way back to her room after dinner. I remember how much she enjoyed her family and their lunch visits with the little ones. I really enjoyed getting to know Katy as I visited Jim daily for 4 years. She could put a smile on anyone’s face with her joking personality.
