Kathy was born on December 15, 1953, in Columbia, where she lived most of her life. At an early age, she had a love for music and began taking piano lessons. During her teenage years, she was the pianist at several local churches. Kathy and her family lived in Egypt during her Senior year, which was an experience that she cherished and shared about often. Many people knew Kathy from the local Piggly Wiggly, where she worked as the bookkeeper until her retirement. In her spare time, Kathy loved playing dominos with her friends and gardening with her neighbors. She was known for her delicious cakes and homemade candy. Making Christmas candy became one of her favorite traditions with her family. Her seven grandchildren brought joy to her life. Being at "Nana's" was often filled with laughter, sugary treats, and hugs. Kathy was a member of Woodlawn Church, where she was loved by many.

She was preceded in death by her Parents; Denis and Margie Haden Tagert; and one Grandchild, Corey Arinder. She is survived by two Sons, Don Brown (Andrea), of Columbia, Russell Brown (Stephanie), of Columbia; one Daughter, Kellie Flowers (Marty), of Center Ridge, Arkansas; one Brother, Denis Wayne Tagert, of Columbia; one Sister, Beverly Carter (Kenny), of Petal; six Grandchildren, Zachary Brown, Landon Brown, Toby Flowers, Makayla Flowers, Kasey Flowers, Tessa Brown; and a number of Nieces, Nephews, and other family members.
