Katherine is from Central Indiana where she grew up on a 100 acre beef cattle and grain farm. She is the oldest of six children, three boys and three girls. She grew up going to the Methodist/United Methodist Church in the small town near her home.

Katherine moved out to the DC area in October of 1983 and has lived on the East Coast ever since. She has served at churches in north central Baltimore County as a part of the Baltimore North District and most recently in Camp Springs, MD, a part of the Washington East District. She has one daughter, Mary, who is 18.

While visiting her parents, she learned that her father’s side of the family originally lived around Frederick. She knew that being here felt like home right away, but little did she know this area was already a part of her! She looks forward to researching her family roots some more.
