Katy was always on the go, and loved playing tennis, golf, and pickleball with the girls. She was so creative, a true artist, with her greatest love being pottery. We were proud to say that Katy was one of the founding members of the Colony Pottery Club. She also loved nature, with a special interest in raising Monarch butterflies. Katy had a passion for life: dancing, singing, drinking wine with the people she loved - she always lived life to the fullest.
