Katherine has been my dear friend for 70 years. We shared Sullivan's Island memories and continued to stay in touch. We worked on our Reynolds ancestry because our Charleston grandparents had similar roots. I hope to have a grand reunion in Heaven.

What a great lady. Met K at Ladies Choice water aerobics. We were great farmers on FB, shared many lunches. I enjoyed hearing about her children and grands, amazing photos shared and her artistic crafts with all occasional cards. I left Summerville 2018 and sorry to learn of K passing. Hoping she is at peace and extending her big smile in heaven. God bless this family.

Katherine was a wonderful and kind person that I had the privilege of knowing for over 75 years. We attended school together at the convent kindergarten which we began when we were only 4 years old. How happy I was to rekindle our friendship in the early eighties when I worked at the Main library downtown. Katherine used the library often as she indeed was a voracious reader along with her children. I will miss her at our monthly BE luncheons. RIP, Katherine

I've known Catherine for many years. We worked together at the bank for years and saw her many times when the bank had something for all employees. Know she will truly be missed by her family as well as the rest of us. Prayers for her family.
