Kathy was a member of our church at Stillwell Bible Baptist Church, and she will be dearly missed. She and Ed joined our church and jumped in with both feet. Once their feet hit the ground, they found any and all excuses to serve God. They are a refreshing and encouraging couple. My heart is broken from her loss. We all loved her so very much. Kathy and Ed were building their own home by hand. Working hard on a daily basis. Kathy went from preparing a place for her and Ed to live, to an eternal place made especially for her (Matthew 5).

Praying for healing and encouragement for our church family, for her family, and for Ed.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Kathy’s family. I knew Kathy for many years with our community health nursing connection. Her students came to the local public health department where I worked for several years. We renewed our connection when I started working at Cox College & we both taught the community health courses. When Kathy retired I took over her course. She was a friend and mentor when I started teaching community health. I am saddened by her passing.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Kathy will be missed greatly. I was a student of Kathy's at Baptist in 1989 in Springdale AR. In 2015 I started teaching at Cox College and we were so excited to work together. Our offices were next to eachother and we chatted and ate lunches together. I know Kathy is with Jesus!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I considered Kathy a dear friend and worked with her at Cox College. Our offices were next door for many years and with many moves - we went together! We had many great visits with our love for God, family, all things country, and antiquing. I have missed her since her retirement from the college and move to Arkansas.

I had the pleasure to stay at Mrs. Martin's house a few times in High School. She was very kind, welcoming and had a great sense of humor. I recently got to visit with her as I ran into her at the Dodge Store. She recognized me and we talked for a while. She started laughing about a story back in the 1990's. I had spent the night with Brittany and while we were driving on slick roads, the truck went sideways or skid. She said I was so scared and thought I was going to die. I told her that I didn't remember it and must have blocked it out of my memory LOL. I didn't know she was battling health issues, I would have given her a big hug and told her what a wonderful lady she was. Prayers and love to her family. A great loss to the world but is now with the father. Moved out of a worn-out tent, into a beautiful mansion in Glory. Love Becky
