Kathy was always a blessing to be around. I remember fondly going with Wyndi and Kathy to White Lake in the summers growing up, hanging out at her house, and seeing her at church. Her smile lit up the room! She will be missed dearly and loved always. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Michele Owens Winstead
Granny, I will forever remember sharing your 83rd birthday, you joining in with William and I singing the birthday song and eating cake. I know God, family and friends were a big part of your life. Your poems and the photos you took reflect the love and joy within your heart. May your family be a peace, knowing the goodness and kindness you have shown to all who knew you. With love, Gloria

I was blessed to work with Kathy at Sears . She worked hard but always with a smile and her laughter would keep us going all day. She was a dedicated employee to Sears and a friend to all .You could tell she was a Christian from her actions and her words. She would tell stories of her children, her mother and brother.She has given me precious memories and pray you will cherish the good times and her love forever. I will be praying for GOD to give you strength and his love during this time in your life. In Christian Sympathy, Martha Griffin Taylor Barnes(Sears1970-1987) Church street store

Family was very important to you, I’m thankful for everything you ever did for me.You’ll live in my heart forever and ever. I miss you so much!! Love, Wyndi
Mrs. Crocker was a special person to everyone who knew her. I could never repay her for all she did for me. She did it out of love which is how she did everythng. Her family was everything to her and she to them. I was fortunate enough to be a mother to her grandson so a part of her will live on in him. She will truly be missed by us but she is where she has planned to be her entire life. Heaven will be a little brighter so smile when you think of her because she will be smiling on all of us.
