Kathy has called Forest Lake home since 1985, where she and her husband, Tim, raised two boys. After dedicating 36 years to teaching in the Forest Lake Area Schools, Kathy has always cherished the close-knit, supportive nature of her neighborhood. Whether it was sharing meals during illness, lending tools for home repairs, or helping with tree cutting and garden work, neighbors consistently stepped up to help one another.
When Mike first suggested expanding this sense of community across all of Forest Lake through the Good Samaritans, Kathy was eager to get involved. She loves giving back in ways that bring joy or lift someone's spirits.
The concept of "paying it forward" resonates deeply with her, as she believes that even the smallest acts of kindness can create a ripple effect of generosity and goodwill. Kathy is passionate about spreading joy and making a positive impact, one good deed at a time.
