She is survived by her soul mate of 57 years Wayne, her daughter Keri Vik of Estes Park, and her son Tyce Young (Crystal) of Clay Center. She would help Carter and Margot with homework and reading several days a week. She enjoyed watching Lindley on the Topeka news, Luke and Carter’s football games and wrestling matches. Kathy was close to Wayne’s nursing home and was now able to spend time with her Kansas grandchildren. So she moved back to Kansas and settled in Clay Center. In July 2020 it was time to get more help for her beloved husband Wayne as his dementia was too much for Kathy to manage on her own. While in Estes Park she enjoyed watching Sadie Rose play high school sports and they spent time cooking recipes from the family cookbook. Family and friends loved visiting Estes and staying with Wayne and Kathy. They loved hiking in the national park and sitting on the deck watching the birds.
Wayne and Kathy retired in 2003 and built their dream home in Estes Park, Colorado.
She taught in Colorado Springs for 25 years. She taught first grade for 25 and then after receiving her Masters in Reading from the University of Colorado she became an intervention reading teacher.
