I will never forget when my family moved from Georgia to Arkansas & we found out that my grandfather (my Dad's father) & Katherine's mother were brothers & sisters which made Katherine & my Dad 1st cousins & Katherine & me 2nd cousins. And what was even more bizarre is that Katherine's daughter (Sharon) was my Algebra teacher! I am going to really miss all of the stories that Katherine told about our family and looking at family pictures along with our phone conversations and visits together. She was truly a lovely woman and will be deeply missed.

So sorry to hear of Aunt Katherine's passing. I know she will be greatly missed. She was one of the sweetest and friendliest mothers I've ever met. I remember when we would come to town and see her at the store where she worked, can't remember if it was Myatts or Mays, but she would always invite us over to the house. Precious Lady. Love you Aunt Katherine.(I'm Jane Drewry's daughter.)

Aunt Katherine was my favorite Drewry Aunt. She was one of the kindest ladies you could ever meet. I'll never forget the many times she opened her home and heart to us when we would visit each summer. Even though I wasn't able to see her much the past few years, so was always in my heart. You will be missed Aunt Katherine
