I worked with Katie for a few years in Real Estate. She was always a pleasure to be around. Very sweet and sociable! I am absolutely heartbroken to hear of her passing. Katie always spoke very fondly about her beautiful children and how proud of them she was! I hope her family and friends know how much she loved them! May the good memories live on in the hearts of her children. She is definitely gone too soon, but it sounds like she will finally be at peace. My prayers are with Katie and her family at this heartbreaking time!

Cindy, Lanny, Kathy & Cindy D,
I remember Katie well … she was a joy to be around. Her light and laughter were evident in every conversation. She served the Realtor Board well as Education Chair (many moons ago) and helped us all to see things from a “young person’s perspective”. I know you are missing her more than words can convey. May the peace and comfort that comes from a loving Heavenly Father embrace you all and keep you ever in His care.
Linda Speagle says
