We worked with Kathy at Hickman, and she was a valued colleague. She cared deeply about her fellow Kewpies, and was not afraid to speak the truth. She had a great sense of humor, was our student radio station’s biggest fan, and could call a snow day (complete with number of inches of snowfall and number of days we’d be out) with pinpoint accuracy. She was also very selfless. We have felt her absence since she retired, and we feel it even more now. P. S. If you are somewhere able to read this, I am sorry I screamed the cuss word that one time when I thought no one was in the workroom (Phil).
Kathy was a lovely woman, sweet, thoughtful and kind. Many, many times she rescued me (patiently) from mistakes I made in trying to make my own copies on the ever difficult copier and risso machines. She worked hard to meet the needs of the teachers at Hickman and was a genuinely nice woman. She will be missed.
I will always remember Kathy for being a kind and generous person. I feel blessed to have worked with her a number of years at Hickman High School.
Kathy and I shared a friendship and love of horses. Over the years I deeply appreciated her guidance and words of support for working with my horses.
I am deeply sorry the world has lost a gentle and caring soul in Kathy. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. I hope in time the pain of her loss will be replaced with treasured memories of her life, the love and pride she felt for her son and family.
Fondly,
Jo Shaw
