Service will be held on Friday, December 8 at 11a.m. also at the funeral home with Pastor Alan Cain officiating. Burial will follow at Vale Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Animal Welfare League of Clark County, as Kathy enjoyed animals and frequently shopped at their thrift store.
