Katie’s love for taking care of others led her to become an x-ray technologist specializing in special procedures and then an E.R./Trauma nurse. One of her greatest joys was rescuing animals and in her life time she rescued over 20 pets, many of which were special needs/senior animals. Her favorite places were her camper and the Teton mountains. Katie was an avid camper, canoeist (she even raced them at one time), hiking, scouting, volleyball, music including singing and playing the guitar and gardening. Katie loved boating and traveling with her best friend Flo Milas. She was an excellent storyteller. We will miss her greatly.
