Kathie enjoys her work as Executive Director of Life Choices Chickasha. She loves people because she recognizes every person from cradle to grave as an image-bearer-of-God who deserves love, respect and protection. Kathie served as a homeschool educator for 23 years. She has spent years encouraging moms who are raising and educating their children. Before joining the Life Choices team in 2022, she worked as a pharmacy technician and mortuary service clerk. She’s been an avid supporter of Life Choices and was a board member in the 1990s. She has been married for 33 years “to my best friend.” Her favorite place to be is out exploring nature. They have four grown children, a daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. She loves her new nickname: “Nana.”

 

“I love coming to work every day and encouraging others to be the best parents they can be. Our society has lost its ability to treasure children. They are the future of our society and the apple of God’s eye.”
