Katy had worked at JC Penney, as well as Marion Community Schools, where she was a teacher’s aide. She was a member of Sunnycrest Baptist Church.
When people think of Katy, they think of love. She had a love for everyone because that love came from the Lord. She loved her family and was the best grandma of them all.
