Katherine found Christ as her savior on the 3rd day of November 1961 and in 2000 converted to Catholicism. She enjoyed reading all kinds of books, but her love for history was unquestionable. In her spare time, she would sew, scrapbook, or color in her adult coloring books. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Sending Prayers to all family, Mrs. Baker always was a kind sweet person.
Thanks for all the good memories. I will miss you daily.
Kathy & I were born the same year. As cousins, we were close growing up and always kept in touch over the years. In 2019 my husband and I visited her in Texas. One of her favorite flowers was Roses. I made her a quilt called “Pretty Roses”. The Joy on her face was worth every stitch. I rejoice in the hope I have in Jesus knowing I will see Kathy again. There are no tears in Heaven, only Joy and Unending Love!
