Kathy adored children and found her place working at Lebanon Head Start for 23 years. While there she ensured every child had a healthy meal and went home with a full belly. Her huge heart and caring spirit touched the lives of her coworkers, the children, and families of Head Start. She often worried about families with the most need having enough and would give out of her own pocket to ensure their needs were met.
At Kathy’s request there will be no services held.
To honor Kathy, memorial donations may be made to MOCA Head Start Lebanon (417) 532-4989 to help provide food boxes for families during the upcoming holiday season.
