The devoted and much loved wife of David, loving and loved mum of Stephen and Susan, dear mother-in-law of Denise and Andy, cherished grandma of Rachel, Bethany and Liam, loved sister of Barbara and her husband Tommy and also a loved relative and dear friend to many.

Kath loved her holidays with her husband and has shared some wonderful and happy times on holiday with friends. A true family lady, Kath devoted herself to her family,  she doted on her grandchildren and was always on hand for baby sitting services and would make the long trip to Plymouth at the drop of a hat to visit her son and his family. An avid soap fan Kath loved to keep up to date with her favourite TV programs and also enjoyed completing her latest puzzles on her iPad.
