Kathy was born in St. Joseph to Orville E. & Margaret Akey on January 14, 1945. She grew up in Cameron, graduating from high school there in 1963. Kathy worked as a Social Security Specialist with an accomplished career spanning some 30+ years.
Her family loved to tease her, calling her “St. Katherine”, for she was well known as the most kind, caring and giving person. Kathy loved her church, serving as greeter, handling deposits, doing liturgical readings, leading the Rosary, providing for carry in dinners and donating a lot of her time.
She volunteered weekly, calling Bingo at Sunset Home and always made food for families in their hour of need.
Kathy loved making jelly and quilting (much of which was donated to raffle or made for others).
Because of her servant’s heart, she was the recipient of many accolades, including the coveted & prestigious “Bishop’s Award”, from the St. Joseph-Kansas City Catholic Arch Diocese. The amount of good she accomplished in this world, as a disciple of God, cannot be measured.
Everybody liked her. She was the most unselfish, giving and humble person. Always deferring the praise she would receive to others. Kathy was an awesome role model and a wonderful wife, mom and grandmother.
She gave her all to the very end of her life and even after passing, due to her organ donations.
Kathy was part of the St. Mary Quilting Group and The Linus Project, making afghans & quilts for many children and adults.
Her and Mike had visited all 50 states in their many travels.
Members of the family include her husband of 49 years, Mike, of the home; daughter, Rhonda (Gary) Lippold, Amity; son, Ron (Betsy) Frazier, Cleveland; brother, Jim (Barb) Akey; sister, Donna (Dick) Duckworth; grandchildren, Drew, Kellen & Michael (Taylor) Lippold, Elizabeth (Libby), Logan and Dylan Frazier; great-grandchild, Thayer Jo Lippold and numerous nieces, nephews and a host of friends and church family.
Kathy was pre-deceased by her parents.
