Since her retirement in 2011, Katie has enjoyed a variety of hobbies: everything from playing golf to learning and reading about history. It's been said Katie loved a good meal. To say she was an avid Razorback fan would be an understatement. Nothing stood in the way of a Razorback game. Katie was a very kind and giving person, she would help anyone at any time.
