Such a lovely, funny women. Beautiful dimples & sharp Witt . God Bless and Rest Easy❤️
I have nothing but warm, funny memories of my “boss” over at the Nail Spa — I remember two specific ones which will always be etched in my mind. One was when a squirrel dropped out of the ceiling onto her shoulders and she was screaming and we all laughed for a very long time. The second memory I have was when she asked me to wax her eyebrows. Well, I don’t remember what went wrong but I accidentally waxed one of her eyebrows completely off and I was so scared/ I didn’t say a word. The next morning she let me know she was well aware of what happened-but she never got mad-she always had a great big smile on her face-and I felt very fortunate to have such a wonderful lady as a boss. I’m sure she will be missed by many.
Such a warm, gracious, fun-loving, kind, charming and generous lady! Kathy would light up any room she entered! Beautiful inside (heart) and out (gorgeous smile)!
May she rest with the angels !!
God bless you Kathy. Rest in peace. May the peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ be with your family now and always. With love and sincerity, Josephine Rugnetta Heller
