Kathy was the heart of our family, finding joy in connecting friends and family through her love of cooking. Whether hosting gatherings for family or friends, she created an atmosphere of warmth, togetherness and most importantly fun! She delighted in her grandchildren, often taking them on special trips and many plays and musicals, creating cherished memories along the way.
As a devoted member of the Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, she was always ready to serve and show support at the Church festivals. She was also an active member in the Aspen Hill community serving as a longtime member of the Aspen Hill Civic Association.
Kathy was a true and loyal friend to many here at home and to family she held dear in Greece. She loved doing puzzles, playing cards and scrabble, baking with her grandchildren and meeting up with friends for good times. Her authenticity attracted many friends who will miss her friendship but cherish her memory.
