She owned and operated Hair Fashions by Kathy in Gainesville, Virginia, for seniors and did hair for over 50 years.
Kathy was truly a Beacon of Joy and happiness in this world. She will be greatly missed by her loving family and many friends.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, July 15, from 1-2 p.m. at the Front Royal United Methodist Church.
With Kathy’s giving spirit and huge heart, she would want memorial contributions to be made to a charity of one’s choice or the Phoenix Project, 222 S.
