Kathy was the cherished daughter of the late Marion Marjorie Burgess Parce and John Raymond Parce. She was a devoted mother to Brian France and Michelle Talukder, and a beloved mother-in-law to Julie and Sajeed. Her heart was filled with love for her grandchildren: Brinley, Riley, Archer, Daxton, and Cade. She was also a treasured sister to Wally Parce, his wife Nancy Parce, Bruce Parce, his wife Meg Parce and was preceded in death by her dear brother, Burgess Parce.

With a kind and gentle soul, Kathy found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was spending precious moments with her family or taking peaceful walks with her best friend, Barb. As a dedicated teacher and loving grandmother, she touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed.

Kathy's warmth, compassion, and unwavering dedication to her loved ones will forever remain in our hearts.
