Kathy grew up in Long Beach, California where she used to sail with her parents along the coast. She graduated from Poly Tech High School with honors. On her senior trip, she traveled around the United States visiting all the historical monuments of our country. She loved this trip and told many stories about it. After high school, she married Donald Kent. They had four children, Donna Elam, David Kent, Michael Kent, and Mary Conn. She raised her children in Norco, California. Kathy spent her whole life working hard and dedicating her life to her family, her career, and, most importantly, helping out the ones she loved. She retired from Olive Crest Group Home as the senior group home manager in 2002. After she retired, she moved to Guthrie, Oklahoma, where her eldest daughter lived. Here Kathy really discovered her love for the country life, most of all, her love for mowing. Kathy touched so many lives in her journey. She loved her grandchildren and her animals more than anything. She was spunky, vibrant, and she was always so full of compliments. She played a huge role in so many lives. She was truly one of a kind, and she will be missed by many.
