Kathy and Howard tragically were killed in an accident on March 31st, 2017. Kathy, 48, worked as a server at Pizza Hut in Battle Creek for 30 years. I personally worked side by side with her for 3 1/2 years. She was a shining star to all that knew her. Always staying strong and putting her best foot forward no matter what, she was an inspiration. So in tune with any suffering around her, Kathy would always put others before herself.  Howard was an amazing companion for her and they were like two peas in a pod. He loved to play chess and come visit Kathy at work to make sure "his girl" was doing alright as he put it.  They fished together, rode bikes together, and had the times of their lives together. Their sons Alex and Trent along with the rest of the family are devastated and in need of help in this trying time as expenses as we all know are outrageous. Any little bit helps as all the funds will be donated to the funeral home for their final expenses. Please keep the family in your prayers.
