Kathy was a residential manager with Alternative Residential Services (ARS) and dedicated 25 years with ARS before retiring at 62 years old. Kathy especially enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She was an adventurous traveler, enjoyed concerts, festivals and loved picnics with family and friends. You could count on Kathy to be dancing and singing when the right music hit her ears. She adored singing country music with her husband, Larry. Kathy loved live theatre, reading romance novels, swimming, playing bingo, sewing and crafting with her daughter, Tammy, and best friend, Sandi. Kathy’s smile and laughter were infectious and she could light up a room. Kathy was compassionate and always kept up with the fashion trends. She was very loved and will be missed dearly.

Boyd Sr., and children Tammy (Larry) Houston, Jeff (Vikki) Rood, Loretta (Benny) Holland, Bobby (Ranea) Boyd, Tina Boyd and Larry Boyd Jr. Kathy is also survived by her brothers, J.D.
