Born in Demorest, Georgia on August 21, 2000, Katie was a life-long native of Habersham County. She was generous, compassionate, and kind. Never malice or angry.

If someone was sick, she would instinctively become the caretaker. Katie loved music, concerts, people, and especially dogs. She was a huge fan of Harry Potter and gravitated to a world where the impossible was possible. Katie loved to give hugs since she was a little girl and there was never a limit on how many given.
