| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 <<< Kathy L. Sickles, 59, passed away in Lake Havasu City May 13, 2017 after a long illness. Born on Sept. 11, 1957 in Santa Monica, California. Kathy was the daughter of Jack and Mary Whitehouse. Kathy lived in California most of her young life. When she and her late husband Thomas “Smokey” Stover moved to Lake Havasu City in 1989, she really found her home. Her career path took many turns. She worked in healthcare administration, the Lake Havasu Area Chamber of Commerce, and did business and marketing consulting. For more than three decades, Kathy delivered a message of hope, recovery and gratitude that helped change the lives of many people and, in recent years, was invited to speak at several conferences. As a friend of Bill W., she helped many people in that fellowship and always spoke the language of the heart. Kathy lived a life of service to others, giving selflessly of herself and her time. Kathy was active in her community and served as a board member with United Way of Lake Havasu City. She also served on the board of the Interagency Council as their president. Her last volunteer work was with Love on a Leash. Kathy and her beloved dog, Sadie, helped with children’s reading programs in local elementary schools. Kathy was an exceptional bowler and enthusiastic golfer. She and her husband played many rounds of golf together. Kathy’s blended family was her greatest joy. We are all honored to have been loved so deeply by her. Kathy is survived by her loving husband of 17 years, Daniel Sickles; two devoted stepdaughters, Nicole Tolentino (Chris Tolentino), Jennette Brooks (Justin Brooks); grandson Jackson Tolentino, brother Jack Whitehouse and stepbrother Max Ponder. Godspeed, Angel. Kathy’s celebration of life is 11 a.m. June 10 at St. Michael’s United Methodist Church. A reception will follow at the Alano Club, 2041 Swanson Ave. at 1 p.m. All are welcome. Donations can be made in Kathy’s name to Hospice of Havasu. |
