Kathryn Krauss Reay, Born January 16, 1949 in Houston TX, passed away on March 3, 2021 in Wichita Falls at the age of 72 after a lengthy battle with Parkinson's and COVID-19. As a member of Dickinson High School's class of 1967, she attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas before traveling the world working with Braniff International. During a memorable trip to Hawaii she met Kevin Reay, who she married and together they had three children, Andrea, Christopher, and Elizabeth, and then three granddaughters, Allison, Emily, and Katelyn.

Kathryn had a spark for life and for giving that could not be dimmed. She worked tirelessly to provide the best for her family, and never allowed difficult circumstances to tarnish the beautiful and passionate woman she was. She was a gifted conversationalist and storyteller who could make a friend of anyone, and with these skills she worked as a coach for Choices Seminars to help others find greater senses of peace and purpose in their lives.

Kathryn will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and friend. She was a blessing to all who knew her, and this world is a far better place for having had her in it.
