Kathleen was a wonderful lady to clean for and have chats with.
I will miss her creepy dolls, our jokes and giggles we had.
It was a privilege to get to know her.
Rest in peace beautiful soul, thinking of you all xx

I am sad to hear about Kath passing away. She was a lovely, kind, and helpful friend and neighbour and was always there for everyone.
She was very proud of all of her family, and even though I have never met you, I feel as though I know you in some way.
Kath was a fountain of knowledge in a wide range of subjects, and always made a point of sharing a new joke.
I feel safe in saying, that all who had the pleasure of knowing Kath will miss her, and remember her fondly always.
so sad to hear of Kath's passing , I met Kath at a doll show in hamilton approx 20 years ago , over the years we shared a lot of things , kath's knowledge of dolls was amazing, and many a time i would call on her expertise,when I had the Dolls Hospital, Kath would stay with us here in Hamilton when doll shows on and I would stay with her for auckland shows , I not really a morning person but kath would bang on the bedroom door about 5.00 o'clock and of we would go to the avondale market she always knew how to score a bargain it was fun,
Kath was very family orientated she always spoke highly of you all , and especially the grand kids she always had a joke to share with you, at the end of a phone call she would always say hang on I have a joke for Adrian and she did ,, I have some really special dolls that i got through Kath and they remain special to me , Kath will be sorely missed by everyone I but I just want you guys to know how special you all were to Kath, she was so proud of all of you and loved you all so much ,rest easy Kath you will be missed
