Lincoln Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, and the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Kate was also fond of sailing the world's oceans and took part in many cruises worldwide. Of utmost importance in her life were the treasured relationships she held with her husband, children and grandchildren.
