Kathy, my sister Kay and myself have been friends growing up in Stillwater since we were little children. She was always a good friend and lovely person. When time and distance separates us as it does at this point in our lives it is shocking and sad to catch up with old friends in this way. My thoughts and prayers are with Kathy’s family during this difficult time. Bill Endorf
I am deeply saddened by Kathy’s passing. I do believe she is now with God and that all is well. Kathy and I grew up together in the same neighborhood in Stillwater…Kathy on Pine Street and my family on Walnut Street. I have known her most all of my life it seems, although only touched base as adults during class reunion times and perhaps through her family during the auction time of her folks home, etc. What I remember most about Kathy is how very pretty she was,indeed;her sweet spirit and sweet voice, all, lasting memories of our friendship. I loved Kathy. I send my thoughts and prayers to all of her family. Good bless you and give you peace, Mary Lee Hert Draper P.O. Box 185 Stillwater, OK 74076
I was so saddened to learn of Kathy’s passing. I didn’t know her health had gotten so bad. She was a dear friend and we e-mailed ever so often. The last high school reunion we had in Stillwater, we had such a fun time catching up on the olden days and laughing at our past. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. May your wonderful memories bring you peace and help heal the great loss of Kathy.
I am in shock over Kathy’s death. I had such a nice visit with her at our last high school reunion a little over a year ago.Kathy and I were good friends through high school and we walked home everyday together, laughing and enjoying the times. I was her Maid of Honor when she married Jerry. I will always have fond memories of our times together and will miss her. My prayers go out to all that knew and loved Kathy.I have lost a good friend.
Kathy and I were Beta Sigma Phi sorority sisters many years ago. Although we haven’t seen each other in a very long time, I remember her as a kind, soft-spoken woman with a wonderful sense of humor. What a blessing to have someone like her in our lives. To Jim and her family, I am so sorry for your loss and pray that the loving thoughts of friends and the memories you keep in your hearts will help you through your grief.

We are so saddened by her departure from all of us ….but we know she will always be thought of with a smile and tenderness ….Like she bestowed to others.

Kathy and I had many wonderful times on the golf course. We laughed at how badly we played but how much we enjoyed the women we met playing golf. She was always upbeat and happy when I played with her. Kathy had a kind heart toward everyone. I will miss her company. I pray that all who loved her as we have will have wonderful memories to look back upon as we grieve her passing.
I was blessed to know Kathy as a stepmom, when she was married to my dad, Carl Chance Jr. Kathy was the first one to buy me a barbie doll, with some outfits. Do you know that I still have the doll and the outfits? We would always go out on the weekends to buy a new barbie outfit. Another treasured memory that I will always keep with me is when Daddy and Kathy enrolled me into classes of ballet,jazz and tap. I can close my eyes and think back of when Kathy was showing me her ballet toe shoes and we were sitting on the floor talking about ballet and she said that when I can learn to do ballet well enough that she would let me use her toe shoes. I was so excited! There are alot of memories that I can reflect on about Kathy and what she brought to our family. Friday night pizza or tacos and then on Saturdays going to flea markets or our favorite restaurant. My prayers are with her family and I am keeping everyone that has known or loved Kathy close to my heart. God Bless each and everyone. Sinercely, carin spradlin Conway, Arkansas
May God bless Kathy’s soul and her family members. Kathy and I were married in the late 60’s/early 70’s and spent approximately five adventerous years togther. She was a good-hearted lady and will be sorely missed. I was blessed by her love and companionship. My best wishes go out to the family in the healing process of their great loss.
Just wanted to pass along my prayers to the family on the loss of Kathy. She was nothing but kind to me when she was my stepmother many years ago. I have wonderful memories of the summer I stayed with her and my Dad. May your own wonderful memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.
