Kathleen Louise Higgins

Kathleen Louise Higgins was born on December 10, 1954 in Corona, California to George and Wanda Belcher. Kathy lived in Southern California her entire life, graduating from Corona High School in 1973. Kathy attended the University of California, Riverside and played volleyball before becoming a special education teacher in San Bernardino. She would eventually go on to teach kindergarten, first, and second grade at Magnolia Elementary School in Azusa until she retired. Kathy loved working with young children so much so, that even years after retirement, she continued to teach art lessons throughout the year. Kathy was a proud and devoted mother to her two children, Zachary, born in 1986, and Samantha, born in 1990. Throughout their childhood, Kathy played the roles of scout and soccer mom, never missing an opportunity to support her family. After her children moved out, Kathy continued her role as mother to Samson, her beloved rescue dog of nearly seven years. Kathy loved her church, Verve City-for many years she led a women's small group, developing close friendships that meant the world to her. Kathy also loved to travel, sew, try new food, joke about politics, volunteer, and take on renovation projects. A kind, caring, and joyful person, Kathy will be forever remembered and loved by all who knew her. A memorial service celebrating Kathy's life will be held at Verve City Church in Chino on Saturday, July 29 at 11:00am.
