Kathy was born July 5, 1958, in Great Falls, Virginia, the daughter of the late Charles Edward and Wanda Fern Ryder Hughes.

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.
