Katherine has been counseling with Patterson Park church since 2022.  Previously she was a case manager with the Office of Disability Services at Wright State University.  While there, she worked with students with a variety of disabilities ranging from extremely high functioning autism and learning disabilities to blindness and severe physical disabilities as well as mental health related disabilities.  She has been a widow since 2016.
Katherine and her husband were blessed with a beautiful active son who, at the age of 15 months, started to lose his gross and fine motor control.  By the time he was 18 months old, he could no longer walk and had lost the use of his upper extremities.  The doctors did not think he would live until two and also thought he would not understand or maintain any cognition. By the age of two he could no longer speak. Katherine’s son taught her how to understand an individual who had no audible speech, as well as how to love people with disabilities. He prepared her well for her career in working with individuals with disabilities and their families.  Most important, he taught her how important it is to slow down and listen to the Lord. He passed away in May, 2023, at the age of 44.
