Curator's Comment
Kathryn LaBorie’s husband, Eric, described his wife as loving “the sparkle and prettiness of life.” He noted that her wardrobe often mirrored her “bright, happy, and vibrant” personality. Friends and family also recall her as “vivacious” and “adventurous,” whether going out dancing in this outfit or at work in her airline uniform. Eric remembered other sides of Kathryn, describing how she taught him to approach life with kindness. In turn, he taught her the benefits of T-shirts and jeans and convinced her to try flip-flops for the first time.
