Katy loved her children, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren more than life itself. She enjoyed many years of Bingo, fishing, going to the casinos with her family, and just being able to reach out and offer what she had to anyone in need. A celebration of Katy's life will be held on Thursday, May 15, 2014 at 11 a.m. at Salem Cemetery in East End where her family is and there will be a dinner on the ground potluck after the service. www.arkansasfuneralcare.com.
