Saddened by her sudden passing while in the service of our Lord serving in Houston, Texas??Rest in love Sister Katherine Pindar❤️ – Gladys Nautu-Apelu
I’m in absolute shock and disbelief right now. Katherine was from my home stake and I knew her from Girls Camp/others take activities years ago and her little brother and my little sister are really good friends (they went to prom together). My thoughts, love, and prayers are with the Pindar family right now. – Missy Young
