Kathy was born on Thursday, November 3, 1949 in Alamosa, Colorado. She and Richard began their lives together in the fall of 1965. She received her high school equivalency from Albuquerque High School in 1972. She had an eventful life working and learning for places and businesses such as the Terrace Twin Drive-In. She graduated from beauty school in California and returned to Albuquerque to work for JCPenney's Salon. She later worked as a private investigator, she assisted in the meat department of a local grocery store and by August 1985, she became president of Aragon's Lawn and Wood Center until it's closure in 2022.
Her passion in life was her family. She would much rather sit and visit with family and friends than go somewhere on vacation. She enjoyed being an active member of Calvary Chapel's Connect Group. She loved listening to Christian radio programming and prayer for anyone needing prayers. She was known for taking in anyone needing a place to stay. Her favorite quotes were, "Oh I see", "Okaaayyy", "I'm fine", and "I know huh too."
