She was born on November 2, 1954 in Beaumont, Texas to Gilbert and Virginia Mae Emmons. Katherine went to Nederland High School and lived most of her life on the Bolivar Peninsula where she raised her four kids, loved to walk on the beach, and enjoyed planting beautiful plants and flowers. She also loved music, jewelry, shopping at thrift stores for t-shirts and cute knick-knacks, and spending time with her beloved fur babies: Bella, Missy, Ginger Mae, Stormy, and Punk.
