Katherine "Kathy" Dugan Pickens

Katherine “Kathy” Dugan Pickens passed away on the evening of February 22, 2023. A new angel was called into service to watch over four of her children with spouses; 18 grandkids; 12 great-grandkids; and one ON the way. Kathy lost a hard fight against COPD. She left behind a legacy of people from a lifelong obsession with helping anyone in need, from years of service at Easter Seals, to years of working at Head Start, and the Boys and Girls club as well as fostering two children whose lives she greatly improved. She hardly ever complained about the hardships she faced and was too stubborn to allow anyone to tell her what she should be doing, especially when it was for someone else’s good, no matter the cost to herself. With tears in our eyes, we say goodbye for now you sweet, sweet angel, and we will gather together again someday. We love you always.
