Kathi Goertzen

One of the items in my news reader on Facebook was a link to this story about Kathi Goertzen, an anchorwoman in Seattle who died today. She began her career at KOMO when she was 22 and worked her way up to anchorwoman. She had two daughters who are 23 and 17. 

Kathi died of BENIGN reoccurring brain tumors that had plagued her over the last 14 years. She endured over 9 surgeries and facial disfigurement but still managed to continue her career. Her hope was that she could endure the tumors until a cure was discovered. She was 54. RIP
