Katherine “Kathy” Bradley Price, 62, of Idyllwild, passed away Tuesday, March 7, 2006 at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage of a brain tumor.

She was born Nov. 27, 1943 in Orange, Calif., and was a homemaker.

Mrs. Price was a member of the Idyllwild Community Presbyterian Church and Alcoholics Anonymous. She often said her 14 years living clean and sober in her Idyllwild paradise with her loving husband, Steve, were the best years of her life.

The Prices were weekend Idyllwild residents since 1969, and full-time Pine Cove residents since 1992. She will be dearly missed by family, friends and the countless birds and squirrels she fed.

No services are planned. She is inurned at Santa Ana Cemetery in Orange County.

Mrs. Price was predeceased by her husband, Steve Price, on Aug. 3, 2004. She is survived by her son, Erik Price, and son-in-law, Steve McPherson, both of Orange.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in her memory be made to the Betty Ford Center Foundation, P.O. Box 1560, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270-3297 (www.bettyfordcenter.org).
