Kathy and Bill were long-time members of Woodland Community Bible Church in Crescent, IA, and Fort Christmas Baptist Church in Christmas, FL. Kathy was an inspiration to all that knew her! While she never sought to be recognized for her efforts, her example of quiet, confident, servant leadership was apparent. She touched so many lives along her life’s journey and we are so blessed to have had her with us.
