"My grandma was my biggest supporter and source of encouragement. There are not many memories from my life that do not include her in them. The way she loved us girls was fierce and unmatched. Her work ethic is one I have very rarely seen in the workforce. I only hope that I am able to be seen as good as she was in the eyes of others. I thank you all for your nice words of my Grandma Katherine. She will forever be missed by all who knew her.

"I haven’t seen Katherine in many years, but thought of her often. She was forthright, genuine and the hardest working woman I’ve ever known. No job was too big or too small. She was a valued employee of Dixie Gin. More importantly, she was a loyal, beloved family friend. Katherine, may you finally Rest In Peace.

"My thoughts and prayers are with Katherine's family. I worked with Katherine at Dixie Gin for many years. She was a faithful and dependable employee and always a good friend to me. Since her retirement, we have not seen her but she has never been forgotten. We will always remember her with thankful hearts that we had those years spent working with her.
