Sending my sympathies. I worked with Katy for many years at RiverTown Newspaper Group and the Republican Eagle. She loved her daughter and her family. I was so sorry to hear about her passing. Sending we my thoughts and prayers to her family.

Your mom's laughter was contagious! She was thoughtful, hardworking and fun!! To this day, I can hear her waitress voice teaching me to, "Never walk empty handed." Of course she meant, "Grab an empty plate, fill a coffee cup, pick up the check." But I will also now hear her voice encouraging me to live a full life as she did, with smiles and purpose and love. You have my sincere condolences. ♥️





I am so saddened to hear this news. I worked with Katy and she and I were “the other Katie/Katy” to one another. She had such a great sense of humor and such a caring personality. I regret not staying in closer contact these last few months when she needed me to. My sympathy to all of you. May she rest in peace.
Katy was a neighbor and friend. She listened deeply and shared her joys of her family often. Gabby and I are saddened to hear the news of her passing.
Katy exuded energy, was a person of strength and determination. Katy possessed oh so many hidden talents and potentials that were not know to others. We shared the same sense of humor and so many laughing jags. We enjoyed the little things in life together like fireworks, movies and sitting in the yard with our dogs. She was there in my times of need. Katy, I felt anxious that day about you, I didn’t know why, so I wondered if I left your house unlocked. I needed to go there anyway and was anxious the whole way down, but it was secure. I called you when I left but I went straight to voicemail. Later that day you caught me off guard and I could not make my way to you in time. Now her shoes are empty and there is a void in the atmosphere that used to be such a source of energy and fun. I feel alone.
Dear Annie, I'm so sad to hear of your mom's passing. I have many great memories of her - her warmth, her laughter, her love of life. Love and comfort to you and your family, Nancy Joyce
