She had been a bookkeeper at Tom's Garden Spot and the Wyoming Tree Farm, which went hand-in-hand with her love of plants; however, it was her family that truly brought her joy and fulfillment. Kathy cherished spending time with her loved ones, especially during the holidays when laughter and togetherness were abundant and bubble lights filled the tree. She had a remarkable way of making everyone feel welcome, ensuring that her home was a haven filled with love, connection and good food.

Kathy's personality shone brightly through her many interests. A passionate gardener, she took great pride in her flower beds, nurturing each blossom with care and dedication. Bird watching was another beloved pastime, where she found peace in observing the beauty of nature.

She is survived by her sister, Anne Smith, of Lockport, NY; her son, Marcel Oliger; her daughter, Kelly (Lucas) West; and her beloved grandchildren, Adena (Jon) Gilbert, Karissa (Alex) Toalson, Alanna and James West. Kathy was also a proud great-grandmother, missed dearly by Neveah, Mackenzie, and Ryland Leibouvitz as well as Liam and Aidan Toalson, all of Cheyenne. In addition to her immediate family, she leaves behind many nieces and nephews who adored her.

Kathy is reunited in spirit with her beloved husbands, Robert Macauley and Roland Oliger; her mother, Ella Conley; her father, Martin Conley; and her sisters, Jeanette Donato and Cecelia Conley; and her brothers, Richard and Lee Conley.
