Condolences to Chester, Greg, and Clint on your loss. Kathy, my beloved sister-in-law, helped me countless times in my early school years when I needed help with a project or activity. As a first grader, I was in awe of the beautiful CPHS cheerleader and class favorite who was dating and, later, would marry my big brother. Her little sister and I became best friends, and we were honored to be junior bridemaids in their wedding. I admired her achievements at TCU, and her devotion to teaching and her students. Our family shares many wonderful memories of holiday get togethers, bbqs, cook outs and other occasions throughout the years. She will be missed. RIP Kathy,

I taught with Kathy at Starkey. As a friend and colleague , she taught me so much about patience and caring for each child. Her impact on the youth made a positive difference. I lost touch with her and missed our visits.
Condolences to all her family. She spoke of you often and loved you dearly. May the Lord grant you peace beyond your understanding. Barbara Johnston

My condolences to Chester, Greg, Clint, and the entire family. Wish I had known she was in League City. Would have liked to have visited her - and perhaps the rest of the clan as well. Best wishes to the Stevens family.
