She moved with her family to Applegate, Ore. in 1984. Katie attended Applegate Elementary School and South Medford High School, graduating class of 1996. She was an active member of the music and drama programs in high school and performed in several musicals including “Into the Woods” as Cinderella and “Anything Goes” as Hope Harcourt. She had the honor of singing at the OMEA All State Choir and participated in the solo and ensemble contests. Katie earned her AA degree at Rogue Community College. Katie was also a member of Ruch Community Bible Church and sang in the church choir. Her love for the Lord was a huge part of her life, evident to all who knew her. Katie also served on the Pear Blossom Board from 1997 to 2015. Katie worked for nearly 15 years as a 911 dispatcher for Grants Pass Department of Public Safety, retiring in Dec. 2014. She received several accolades for her work achievements and thrived in the high energy atmosphere of emergency services.

During her employment at AMR she met her husband, Scott Marical. They married September 8, 2001, as best of friends and remained completely devoted to one another. Her lifelong dream of becoming a mother was realized in 2004 when their first daughter, Grace was born. They later welcomed two more children, Becca and Zack into their beautiful family.
