Kathy Carr's 2 CCI Service Dogs

During Kathy's long battle with Multiple Sclerosis, she had the incredible blessing of 2 CCI service dogs. Seila, who assisted Kathy from 2006-2014 and then was her companion until Seila's passing in 2016. Maggie took over in 2015 and was her faithful servant until Kathy's recent passing. Maggie is adjusting to life without her best friend, but looking forward to relaxing and loving farm life.

In Memory of Kathy Carr

Katherine Carla Carr died April 15, 2025 in Gunter, Texas, of complications from Multiple Sclerosis.  She was born on December 12, 1948 in Atlanta, GA, the daughter of Sam McIntosh, owner of a construction company, and Dorothy McCalister McIntosh, a homemaker. She attended South High in Denver Colorado, where she was a cheerleader, and Buena Vista College in Iowa.  She leaves her husband of 42 years, Gary, a sister, Valerie McIntosh Smith (Dennis), and two children, David Frey (Jame’) and Alexei Carr (Shelley).  She leaves eight grandchildren, Alex Frey, Noah Frey, Landon Grazer, Audrey Frey, Lance Scheutz (Joselyn), Lucas Carr, Logan Carr, and Elle Carr, as well as her service dog, Maggie.

Kathy and Gary lived in Clayton, California for thirty years before moving to Texas three years ago to be near family.  Kathy was employed as Director of Administration for Pannell Kerr Forster in Houston before moving to California in her same role at PKF Consulting, a hospitality consulting firm.

She was active in the Episcopal Church in Texas and California. She was an avid sports fan and a Texas Aggie Mom.  Kathy was beloved by all who met her and saw her wonderful smile.  She was a cherished “Gamma” to her family, a Guardian Angel to Gary, and she left us too, too soon.
