She was also a member of Eastern Star #995 in Hallsville and active with both clubs up to her passing. Kathy was retired from Sears and from Lilies and Lace Bridal Shop.

She served as V.P with Single Hinges Square Dancer and was a member of several other square dance clubs. She also loved to travel and camp in the trailer, loved to sew, paint pictures, read, and cook, but above all that, she loved God and her family most of all. She was known in the square dance community as the “cookie lady” and by her niece as the best “chocolate pie” maker. She will be greatly missed.

Those left to cherish her memory are her sister, Fern Smith; her special friend, David Conner; her niece, Debbie Lowe; her nephews, Jimmie Armstrong and Ricky Armstrong; several great and great-great nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
