She impacted the lives of so many and was a role model to them all. She was a student at Southeast Arkansas Community College where she was studying Early Childhood Education. She worked at Ms. B's School Days where her "Bee Babies" lovingly called her "Ms. Kate". Katlyn is remembered as a fun loving, passionate, generous, and spunky spirit with a smile that lit up any room she walked into.
