Katy’s uncle Frank Lindemuth spoke of Katy often. He was so proud of her. We wish we could have met her because Uncle Frank told us about her loving spirit. I can’t imagine the grief of Keith, mom and dad, siblings, or the rest of her family, but know that you are in our prayers.
Thank you so much. She was very fond of her Uncle Frank.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Katy was an amazing woman and she will be greatly missed. I loved working with her at LCC, she was very caring, good at her job and so happy to be getting married soon. She spoke often of her family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, it will be hard not seeing her smiling face every day.
Thank you Becky. It has been nice to hear from her coworkers.
I was off on a medical leave and found out about Katy’s passing upon returning to LCC. I worked with Katy at NCCW and also at LCC. She was a wonderful person who will be missed by everyone who worked with her. I am so sorry for your loss. Katy was a special person and you have my sincere condolences in your loss. I know from our conversations with Katy that she was a Kansas state wildcat fan. I used to tease her good naturedly because I am a huge Cornhusker fan. I think about those conversations frequently.
