She was known as 'Cornville Katie' to many in her early years in Arizona. In 1986, she moved from Cornville to the Verde Valley Manor in Cottonwood. She was very content and 'her nest' at the Manor was her sanctuary. The last several years she has been loved and cared for at Kachina Point Health Center, Sedona. The staff was so good to Katie.
