Kathy was born in Seattle, Wash., and raised in Portales, N.M. She moved to Ketchikan, Alaska, where she served as a police officer. She settled in Anchorage, Alaska, where she raised her family and built a successful career as a real estate agent. Kathy met and married her love, Jack Appolloni, in 1994.

Throughout her life, she had many accomplishments and passions. She belonged to quilting guilds where she enjoyed creating intricate beautifully detailed quilts that she donated to raise money for numerous nonprofit foundations and charitable causes such as, Friends of Pets, Quilts of Valor and Salvation Army. She had a gifted eye for design and a generous heart.

Kathy was a force of nature, strong, brilliant and endlessly witty. She faced life with an unshakable spirit and sharp mind that could solve any problem. Her laugher was infectious and her wisdom unmatched.

She had a special way of making people feel loved and welcome. She made friends wherever she went. To know her, you would experience a personal and meaningful relationship.

She carried herself with poise and class. She had impeccable taste, was well spoken and extremely intelligent. She lived her life full of intent, purpose and meaning. Her words of encouragement, guidance and wisdom will be missed.

Kathy fought off cancer for a year with determination and strength, and never complained. She's a remarkable woman and so strong. Her husband never left her side. He was her greatest supporter and strength. Their love for one another is an inspiration to us all. Their 32 years of marriage, love, happiness and life's joys that they shared together will continue and forever remain.

The beautiful memories she leaves behind will be held close to our hearts.

She is loved and remembered by her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many friends. We will cherish her memory.
