Kathie spent most of her life living in Santa Fe and then Albuquerque where she helped run the family business, Hallmark Computer Supplies.

Kathie loved gardening, was a huge fan of football and tennis, and she loved fishing in the mountains. She was very creative and loved to sew, create art pieces, work on puzzles, and write poetry. She had a very strong faith in the Lord and would fondly watch her son-in-law, Matt, preach at Hills Church in Farmington, New Mexico.

Kathie was full of life and love. She was funny, charismatic and incredibly strong as she overcame so much adversity in her life. She loved people deeply and was very affectionate. She will be greatly missed by all who were lucky to have known her.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Inhora Hospice (inhora.org), a non-profit organization located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Kathie spent her final moments in comfort and peace.
