She was a superb cook, preparing hot, nutritious meals for them. She loved to fish, but she refused to put a worm on the hook and would not take a fish off the hook, which meant she had her sons do the dirty work! She worked for 25 years plus at General Dynamics as a Quality Control Officer. As a young lady, she played on the company softball team, making many new friends. Later in life, she loved her garden, buying various starter seed packs. She enjoyed researching and exploring new vegetables to grow, she spent many a pleasurable hour doing so. Kathy always had dogs! At one time, she had seven dachshunds, because she couldn’t bear to give them away, after becoming attached to them. After a trip to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas, she brought home a carload of oversize quartz crystals that she used to decorate her house and yard. Kathy was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Sonny Chelf; sisters, Janet Sims, and Linda Niblett.
