Katherine's father, Gregory Evans, told Patch in July that his daughter had been in "perfect health'' prior to her death. The San Marino resident graduated from Holy Family School on June 10. Two days later, she died.

The La Cañada salon owner knew Katherine and wanted to help raise money for the scholarship that was created in her name, said stylist Jennifer Sands. The scholarship supports a Holy Family eighth grader who will attend Flintridge Sacred Heart.
