I would like to speak w family I have many pics of my sweet friend I would love to share 704)223-1508 I am so very shattered and heartbroken when I googled Kathy as I could not reach her and had not heard from her I am devastated I loved my sweet friend I did not realized she is w our lord and savior She is missed deeply
I am so devastated. I have not been able to get in touch with Kathy for an extended period of time and I had no idea. I loved her with all my heart. I met her at the hospital in Salisbury 25 years ago. We have dined out together shared a vacation or two went kayaking Shared many conversations about this game of life. We have talked about our successes and our challenges. She supported me like no one else with her kindness and encouragement. She always spoke finally of her niece who she adored and her family. I often heard her mention Clarence I was happy to see that Kathy retired and was enjoying working part time going to the beach And spending time with family friends and her German Shepherd and her cat. I feel very broken today I googled her name and the obituary popped up. I felt like my knees fell from under me. I loved her with all my heart. I am a tall lady a lot of times the clothes I would buy would shrink up, and my pants would be too short, I would give them to Kathy and she would hem them to wear. We used to chuckle over that. She always told me to go wash some more clothes and shrink them up. She worked and put her whole heart into her job when you page and Kathy was on duty she showed up in a split second. I miss her so deeply already and my heart is broken If any of her family read this I want to offer my deepest condolences and would love to speak w you It is a super sad day here in SC I will hear her laughter in my heart forever As I looked to the heavens today I think of her w our lord God bless my sweet friend I love you
RIP Aunt Kathy!!!
I am heartbroken by the loss of Kathy, my best friend of 33 years. She was truly a special person who brought so much joy, love, and kindness into my life, and in the lives of so many others. Over the years we shared countless memories, from our long conversations, to our shared adventures on the lake in the pontoon boat, and I will cherish them always. Her warmth, humor and generous spirit were unmatched and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones during this difficult time. Kathy left an indelible mark on this world and will never be forgotten. With deepest sympathy, Kathy Hartgrove
Kathy Brown will truly be missed. One of my dearest friend and coworker while employed with Mission, she consoled me during some of the most difficult periods of my life. She was always available to work for me during my time of illness and grief. Kim Buchanan, Kathy Brown, Jeanne Poulin and Mandy Ballinger were true friends who gave me the confidence and courage to continue Pulmonary function outside of Mission and explore new avenues with Stanford Healthcare. RIP my sweet girl until we all meet again in our Father’s Kingdom.
So sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful person in side and out.
