Kathy Reay entered the kingdom of Heaven to be with her Savior on Oct.
24, 2018, in Flagstaff, Arizona, at the age of 49. Kathy was born in
Cottonwood, Arizona, on March 1, 1969, and died residing in her home
off of Reay Road in Rimrock, Arizona.

Kathy grew up riding horses along Beaver Creek, played various sports
at CVHS such as volleyball and softball, and had a passion for
gardening. Her biggest passion was being a Kumu (teacher) Hula for her
dance group, Hula Halau o' Ku'ulei. For years she taught hula to young
girls and women all over the Verde Valley.

Many would remember her from being a legendary volleyball coach at
Beaver Creek School as well. For 10 years she molded many young girls
into the young adults they are today by teaching them hard work and
dedication on and off the volleyball court.

Kathy had a bright smile and a generous personality that will be missed
by those who knew her. Kathy will be fondly remembered by her children,
Joseph Wilson and Maria Katie (Kyle) Lobaugh; grandchildren, Natalie
and Mason Wilson; her mother, Rosemary Reay; brothers, John, Jim,
Robert and Joseph Reay; and her sisters, Linda Parker and Cynthia and
Elizabeth Reay.

Kathy's memorial service will be held at the Beaver Creek School
auditorium at 11 a.m., on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018.

A scholarship was created in Kathy's honor for Camp Verde High School
senior volleyball girls who are Beaver Creek Elementary School
alumni's.

If you would like to contribute to the Kathy Reay Memorial Scholarship
Fund, please make checks payable to Franklin Templeton and mail it to
