Kathy Roden Floyd
Kathy Floyd
has had her life planned out . . .
several times! But the Lord has
directed her steps down other paths
than the ones she anticipated. She
has walked through some of life's
most difficult situations . . . suicide,
serious illness, miscarriage and a
premature baby, to name a few . . .
only to come out on the other side
with the blessed assurance that God
is sufficient for the circumstances
we face.
Kathy's roles as a kid, wife, mom,
stepmom, funeral director, health
educator and counselor give her
many experiences from which to
share. Her career opportunities
have provided credentials that run all
the way from Certified Childbirth
Educator to Licensed Funeral
Director! She was a fourth
generation funeral director in her
family's local firm. The childbirth
educator part didn't happen until she
worked for a dozen years for Paris's
hospital system in the area of
women's health. In the early years
of that position, she was blessed to
work with many hospice patients
and families.

She has spoken extensively on
subjects in women's health, grief,
stress management, teen topics,
parenting and humor. She is a
graduate of C.L.A.S.S. (Christian
Leaders, Authors and Speakers
Seminar) with Florence and Marita
Littauer.
Kathy wants people to know right
up front that she does NOT have it
all together! If you can relate to
that, or if the life you had planned
has been redirected by death,
divorce, disease or other difficulties,
she can show you the faithfulness of
a God who refuses to let you make
your journey alone.
Kathy has been in recovery from
Guillain-Barre' Syndrome, a serious
and disabling neurological condition,
since 2004. After a month in the
hospital and almost another full year
in physical rehab, she has
progressed quite far. She still
wobbles like a Weeble, but she
doesn't fall down (most days!).
