Kathryn was such a special person. I worked with her for many years in Southampton County.
She will be so missed by all. Blessings to the family.
I met Kathryn when we roomed together in Franklin, Virginia. There were four of us, with three from Minnesota, and we were all librarians with Southampton County in Virginia. I still remember those days and am so sorry to hear of her death. Prayers for her family.
