Kathy was a true daddy’s girl. Some of her most treasured childhood memories were with her daddy hunting and fishing. As the years passed, her bond with her mother grew even stronger. Her mom was truly her best friend and confidant.
Kathy’s heart of gold shone through in everything she did. Her kindness and love knew no bounds, and nowhere was this more evident than in the way she welcomed OakLynn’s father, Pablo, into her life as her own son.
Kathy was affectionally called “Nonna” by her pride and joy, her granddaughter, OakLynn Ann. To know Kathy was to love her. She had a heart of gold, a laughter and a smile that was contagious and the kindest spirit. Her memory will live on in the lives of her family and friends. She will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
Kathy was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents Terry and “Chuck” Holland and paternal grandparents Nelson and Dorothy Conlay and her special friend, Ronnie Dowden.
Left to cherish her memories are her daughter KatLynn Conlay (Pablo), granddaughter OakLynn Conlay, parents, Donna and Richie Horn and Nelson and Connie Conlay, brothers Casey Cobb (Kevin), Randall Quick (Misty), and sister Crystal Stiles (Clint) along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers will be Randall Quick, Dakota Holland, Carson Holland, Cody Holland, James Freeman, Kolby Meshell, Ben Wood and Jim Williams. Honorary pallbearers will be Terry Wayne Holland, Thomas Holland, Joe Holland, Fred Holland, Jimmy Horn and Jack Rushing.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the nurses and staff at Natchitoches Regional Medical Center for their compassionate care and support.
