  9. Doug & Benny to say I’m shocked is an understatement. I just had breakfast with her on Saturday. She was a great friend, and it hurts my heart to think I won’t get to talk to her again. We’d been friends for almost 40 years, and she gave me so much advice (wanted or unwanted LOL). I’m still in shock that she is gone. So sorry for the loss to your family.

  11. Sorry to hear of Kathy’s passing. Knew her from her barber shop in Apple Creek when she cut my son’s hair many years ago. Always enjoyed talking to her. Condolences to her family.

  12. I am so sad to have lost a true and valued friend. Over the years Kathryn and I have discussed virtually everything, from Wayne County history to the state of “today’s world”. Each visit to her shop ALWAYS included a LOT of laughs. Her death is a shock which I have not yet been able to fully process. Rest in Peace, My Wonderful Friend. I will miss the interesting interaction that we always had. You cannot be replaced.
