I am so, so very sorry for your loss. Kathy was always so caring and I valued knowing her.
Kathy was a great person. The community has lost a wonderful person.
What a remarkable and respectable woman, I learned much from her over the years. From gun safety, to basic conduct. It was a memorable experience having her along side my life, and seeing her helping out where she could. If we all have not already, there is much we can learn from Kathy’s example.
Fly home with your new angel wings my friend. May the family take comfort in knowing that her precious loving soul is set free and she is home rejoicing in the presence of God and loved ones that have gone before.
Very sorry for the loss. I nice friend.

My deepest sympathy to the Beer family. When Dan and I moved to Canton in 2005, Kathy helped us so much in answering questions about refinishing our old house. She was such a great resource!!! My thoughts are with you. Kathy Van Voorst
My Deepest Sympathy to Howard, Martha, Wayne & Marcy:
I have fond memories of Kathy (and her family) during my years in Canton: When I first took over OLE’s (my dad’s gas station) and built the convenience store, Kathy gave me some very valuable advice (based upon her years of managing, I recall was 80 Casey’s stores (I can only imagine that huge task/responsibility/hard work). Her insight/knowledge/advice was very helpful to me. She also showed me, her incredible commitment to helping people during ambulance calls to my grandparents (Earl & Fannie Kidd). Her personal sacrifice of time and her compassion during her tenure with the Canton Ambulance system was appreciated by my family… The world would be a better place and could benefit with more good people like Kathy…
God bless her.
