Kathleen (Vick) Moodie

Heaven gained a new and very spectacular angel on May 6, 2021 when Kathleen Vick Moodie entered.   

Kathleen, who was also known by Crackers and KitKat, was a real life “joy fairy” who believed she was given the gift of making people laugh to help ease their burdens. Any day could quickly turn into a celebration with dance and a made up song that had to rhyme. She was kind to all creatures great and small. Her loves were her family and friends, Jesus, animals, fast cars and boats, and the USA.  She held a wide variety of jobs in her life including sailmaker, beautician, boat captain, fluorspar broker, and artist. Her heart was as big as Texas and she never met a stranger. Anyone who knew her, loved her.

Kathleen was born in Hampton, KY on March 28, 1947 to Robert Watson Vick and Winifred (Turner) Vick.

She is survived by her daughter, Shannon Rushing (Mike) of Burna, KY; step-sons, Tom Moodie (Vickie Y.) of Grand Rivers, KY and Bo Moodie, IV (Terri) of Smithland, KY; step-daughter, Natalie Gayle Bash (Dan) of Marshall County, KY; sisters, Sheila Vick of Westmoreland, TN, Nina Lisa Vick of Escondido, CA, and Glenda Vick of Las Cruses, NM; brothers, David Vick, Sr. of Paducah, KY, Sherril Eugene Vick (Nancy) of Vernon, AZ, and Henry A.
