Kathryn was a wonderful person, without a doubt one of the best I’ve ever met. She went out of her way to do things for others all the time and had a huge heart. I had the honor of being her boyfriend for about a month and a half and I’m incredibly grateful for the time I spent with her. She was very smart and hard working and she was very good to me and those around her.
To Kat’s family, our prayers for you at this difficult time. Kat was always a favorite. ♥️ Please let us know if you need us. The Mellor family.
I worked with kat for 2 years at ricks bakery and I can say without a doubt she made the shifts better each time. We would always take turns bringing each other 7 brew or snacks and she always had a smile on her face. Kat was one of those people that no matter what could always make you smile, she truly was a special person and I am deeply saddened by her loss. I will never forget the memories we made and the laughs we shared over the donut counter at ricks! ❤️
Sarah,Todd,Jackson,Keith and Susie,
Our hearts are broken for all of you. You have been and will continue to be in our prayers.
Sarah, Todd, and Jackson. I have no words. Sweet memories of Kathryn on Kings Drive. Swimming and playing with Henry and Aida...praying for you.
Kat was an unbelievably precious soul. I had the privilege of having her in debate class last year and she constantly impressed me with how brilliant she was. It's no surprise that she graduated early. She had a way of bringing people together. Last year was a tough year for our program as we transitioned into a new season. Kat would show up with cookies, donuts, etc every Tuesday. The sugar seemed to somehow bring us together. But, the one thing that always stood out was how she remembered the little things. I told her once that my little guy with autism loved pineapples. On multiple occasions, she brought in pineapple treats for me to bring home to him. Her heart was beautiful. I will miss you, sweet girl. More than words can say. I am praying for the family during this impossible time.
Many prayers are being lifted for all of you. I was blessed to have Kat in my Science class and to be able to see her daily during school hours. She had such a big heart for helping others.

To the family, I'm deeply saddened by the loss of a vibrant soul leaving this earth way too soon. I last saw Kathryn when recruiting at her high school last year. She was ready to set the world on fire and had a definite plan in place. I will remember her beautiful and friendly smile that she gave freely to all.

Never was a friend of my daughters' so welcome in any activity we were doing as a family; from trips to Big Cedar, Jeep rides, 4th of July celebrations, sleep overs... ANYTHING!! Kathryn is just such a special human and gift to us all. ❤️
