Her pastor at Springfield UMC said "we will remember Katherine as an artist. She was born an artist and possessed a gift, not only of the hands, but of the mind's eye, having the ability to see possibilities, to see what the rest of us don't see, to point it out and preserve it for us to enjoy. It is an image of God; God always sees possibilities and wants to bring something beautiful into being, sharing it with the rest of us, just as Katherine did.
"She worked in many mediums: painting, photography, flowers. But her best medium was flesh and blood, mind and spirit. As a mother and grandmother, teacher, wife, a Pink Lady at the hospital, she saw what could be and put strokes on lives that she touched, seeing the possibilities. She is remembered for her character, her joy, her perseverance, wisdom and laughter."
