Katy and Chuck would marry May 29, 1949 together building a lifetime of much love and commitment to each other. Katy was very supportive of Chuck while he attended The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toledo Ohio from where he graduated to a long successful career. During his schooling she and Chuck would start their family proudly having 3 sons who survive her today. In 1964 Katy and Chuck would move their young family first to Austin and eventually settling in Kilgore purchasing Longhorn Drug September 1st of that same year.

To her family Katy was supportive and loving. To her sons: Douglas, Stephen and David she always was loving and caring encouraging them to always be gentlemen. To her daughters-in-laws: Patricia “Tish” and Kim they together would enjoy many great shopping trips and decorating for the holidays learning to make many CLINE FAMILY recipes.
