Katie worked as a childcare provider at Potomac Early Learning Center; she cherished children and they cherished her. She was a devout member of her church, Marbury Baptist Church.

Katie was an artist who loved capturing life’s moments in paintings. She enjoyed spending time outdoors fishing and swimming.

Katie had the most beautiful smile that would light up every room she entered. She was a best friend to everyone who knew her.
