Her favorite thing was to be together with her family, especially on holidays. Katja was a long time resident of San Jacinto, and a graduate of South Hills High School, Delphi Business School, and Golden West College, Katja was a dedicated dependable individual with a driving commitment to her family, and to her work. She was currently employed at BMC "Building Materials & Construction Services", which she greatly enjoyed.

When she wasn't hard at work as an accountant and bookkeeper, Katja loved to read. She was even still a member of "Book of the Month Club." In her mind, the pages of a book were meant to be felt and turned, not read on a screen.
