She was an anointed singer, preacher and loved being a nurse. She was a mighty woman of faith and integrity. She was a prayer warrior and you knew she touched heaven when she prayed. There were many miracles resulting from her prayers and obedience to God. She was a mentor to so many young people and adults. She was always finding the good in others. Her spirit was full of love compassion and wisdom. She never said anything bad about anyone and selflessly gave of herself never expecting anything in return. She trusted God for everything and He always was her solid rock. Katie was welcoming and warm to everyone she came into contact with and she never met a stranger. She shared her wonderful stories of her experiences that encourage inspired others. Katie would brighten your day with her sweet, kind, and loving spirit.
