A truly devastating day for all of us who knew and admired Katie. It was a great pleasure to experience her visionary leadership in creating a welcoming downtown Dayton for foreign dignitaries and the international media during Dayton 2025. Her enthusiasm and passion for showcasing local artists to a global audience as well as advocating for the installation of the Dayton Peace Sign will never be forgotten by the community. May Katie find eternal peace and her family and friends find comfort in knowing her memory lives on in them.
