Katie was a friend and co-worker for many years at Memorial. She was a hard worker and very dependable. We had a lot of fun and I’ll never forget her “giggle”. She will always hold a place in my heart.
My prayers and sympathy to your family.

I worked with Katie at Memirial for lots of years. We all even took her on the boat with our group but she would never let go of the boat while in the water. She was a delight and always made us smile. So sorry for your loss
