Kathy loved words; she loved books; she loved stories and she loved to share: Kathy was a true wordsmith – a person who knew the magic of words. In the spirit of this, when she retired, Kathy volunteered for ABC to Read – A local charity which works with Berkshire schools to help raise literacy standards and for whom Kathy volunteered. The school in which she volunteered have said that “We would often hear children reading with Kathy – acting their way through what they were reading – in a way that they would only have the confidence to do if it was someone they trusted and liked. The relationships Kathy created with the children were very special. She was always warm and encouraging, not just to the children, but also to us as teachers.” Kathy asked that ABC to Read be one of her two nominated charities and asked that donations be made to these charities as an alternative to flowers at her funeral.
