The November Sweat: The Details
/In loving memory: Kathy Burman
Friends of Kathy Burman gathered at Mt Si Sports + Fitness last Sunday to remember their smiling friend and hiking companion.
"She lived in the moment, she loved adventure," said Pat Persons, a friend of Kathy of 27 years. Persons said they traveled together to Ireland and Amsterdam as well as Kathy's timeshare in Sedona, Arizona. Their group of peers was tight-knit.
Friends of Kathy wrote notes on pieces of paper shaped like mountains, a symbol of her time spent enjoying the outdoors. The notes were displayed on the wall.
Jodie Laakso described Kathy as the type to go all out in any situation, bringing up as proof a time Kathy packed wine and cheese on a backpacking trip to enjoy on the trail. Laakso said through rough personal trials, Kathy was there to lean on.
"I pretty much credit her with saving me at a dark time in my life," said Laakso.
All in all, folks at the celebration of life described Kathy Burnam as a shining light of positivity and a smiling face to all.
"She would just say it like it is," said Lynn Grisham.
