Kathy was born on March 19, 1942 to Harvey and Mary Elizabeth Lawson in Beggs, Oklahoma. She attended Selma High School, Class of 1960. She married James Leon Oliver, of Kingsburg, in Reno, Nevada on June 14th, 1958. Kathy was married to Jim for 57 years and had three children. Kathy worked for Oliver and Son Trucking company as their bookkeeper for many years before Jim and Kathy opened a clothing store and gym in Selma, CA. After closing their own businesses Kathy went on to manage the commissary staff at Silco Vending until her retirement. Kathy never knew a stranger and loved taking care of her family. She kept a smile on her face and knew how to make everyone feel welcome. Kathy had a strong faith in God and enjoyed reading her bible and listening to others preach about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She spent much of her time at her second home in Morro Bay or in her motor home camping at Pismo Beach. Her favorite place to eat at the coast was the "Lil Hut" where she could watch the boats in the harbor and take in the magnificent view of Morro Bay rock. She was also a member of the Kingsburg Gun Club for many years and made sure all club members got their annual State Shoot hat or t-shirt. Kathy enjoyed boating at Pine Flat Lake and on the Kings River, weekend poker games with friends, late night ATC rides on the dunes at Pismo Beach, visiting the local (and not so local) casinos with her sisters, and later in life traveling with her family. And who can forget Kathy cruising in her and Jim's 1932 red Ford replica golf cart around Kingsburg and Park Sierra?
