She was preceded in death by her brother, John (Becky) MacDonald; sister Mary MacDonald; and nephews Andrew and David MacDonald.

A private service was held at Haven of Rest Nov. 29 due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions.

Kathy would have appreciated any donations be made to Village Community Services, 3210 Smokey Pt. Dr. Suite 200, Arlington, WA 98223
