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.
Surviving is her loving and devoted husband of 41 years, Lloyd Warren Sr.; son, Lloyd Warren Jr.; two daughters, Heather Howard (Stefen) of Chester Gap and Crystal Caruso-Wilson of West Virginia; three brothers, Ricky Hughes and Lester Hughes, both of Florida, and Stanley Hughes of Wilmington, North Carolina; three sisters, Jackie Martin of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, Annie Napolitano of Tennessee and Brenda Hughes-Knox of Kentucky; six beloved grandchildren, Addyson Howard, Adriana Howard, Jacob Howard, Tyler Poe, Brooke Kenney and Kaitlyn Kenney; four great-grandchildren; and special friends who were like family, Nancy Hughes, Melanie Stull and Becky Hughes.
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.
