Kathy Yates Hickam

Kathy Yates Hickam, 61, of Anna, died Monday, Oct. 23, 2023, at Missouri Baptist Hospital in St. Louis.

She was born on June 13, 1962, in Anna, the daughter of Richard Yates and Geraldine Smith Yates in Anna.

In her younger years, she worked in the area fields and home health care later on. She was primarily a homemaker. 

She was an avid St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. Other than her love for her family, she loved the Lord and was very in touch with him because when Kathy prayed, things happened. She loved her turtles more than life itself.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Darlene Tipton.
