Katie treasured the time spent with her family. She loved children, taught Sunday School and was an active member of Briar Branch Baptist Church where in years past she led the youth choir. She enjoyed fishing, cooking for her family, sewing, canning vegetables, reading, and swinging on the front porch swing just to name a few of her hobbies. She also savored all the Sunday afternoon rides to get ice cream. Katie will be missed greatly by all who knew her.

A funeral service will be held at 3pm on Tuesday, March 16th at Briar Branch Baptist Church with Rev. Carlton Bryan officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends immediately following services.
