So many great memories of working with Kathryn at F&M Bank. She would go home for lunch & make a banana pudding and bring back to share with everyone! Her strong faith in God & love of family came through with her sweet spirit & kind words. My condolences to her family, I'm sure she will be greatly missed. Susan

One of the sweetest ladies I've ever known. When we moved to Lafayette, she brought teacakes and left them in one of Brad's old boots(so the dogs wouldn't get them). She brought tea cakes to me at work, even when she didn't feel well and if she didn't have any to bring, she'd apologize. Her sweet friendship I'll always treasure.
