BENNETT
Kathy Jean Bennett, age 60, died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving husband and children.

Kathy was a Registered Nurse, graduating from Bluefield State College in 1992. During her career, Kathy worked at Summers County ARH, as well as Raleigh General Hospital, CAMC, and Beckley ARH. She loved her work, especially the years that she spent caring for surgical patients as an operating room nurse. Kathy nursed patients, until the day she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. She always gave the best of herself to others.
