Kathy was born Kathleen Marie Wilson, July 3, 1958 in Glendale,
Calif., to Richard and Edith Wilson. She was the third of four
children. She graduated from Glendale High School in 1977 and married
Warren Cottom in 1979. They later adopted a son, Scott. As Warren was
in the military, they lived in many different cities during their 30
years of marriage. They later divorced and Kathy settled in Lake
Havasu City to be near her mother, sister and other relatives.

In December of 2014, Kathy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She
died in the early morning hours of July 13, 2015 at home in Lake
Havasu City. She had just turned 57.

It was a long and arduous journey, fraught with many obstacles, but
Kathy made it to the end with dignity and grace. Throughout she
maintained her usual positive attitude and sense of humor. She never
complained and thought only of others right up to the end. She was a
true inspiration to all of us.

Memorial services have not yet been planned. An online memorial site
is in progress at www.kathycottom.com. Please email to
loved@kathycottom.com if you would like to be kept informed of
memorial plans.

Godspeed Kathy.

Thoughts and condolences can be sent directly to Kathy’s family or

Arrangements are under the care of Lake Havasu Mortuary and Crematory.
