Kathleen Marie Pascoe Mehal was born on December 12, 1959 in Laramie Wyoming to Alex Pascoe and Carol Jean Hull Pascoe. The following year the family moved to Burns Wyoming where Kathy's dad worked as a teacher and a coach. In 1965 the family moved to Rawlins, Wyoming where Alex was employed again as a teacher/coach and Carol was employed at a dental practice.

That year Kathy entered Kindergarten at Mountain View Elementary and stayed at that school through 1st grade. The family relocated within Rawlins and Kathy attended Sunnyside elementary through the 4th grade. The family stayed in Rawlins until 1970 at which time they moved to Hanna, Wyoming. Kathy attended Hanna Elk Mountain schools from 5th grade through graduation in 1978. While in High School she participated in many sports and activities, following one of her first loves of rodeo. After graduation she attended Casper College for a short time, but found that college life did not suit her. She eventually ended up in Cheyenne where she worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield. Kathy tried her hand at many different jobs/careers. She eventually landed in Rock Springs, working for a transportation company while studying and earning her real estate license. While in Rock Springs she met Harvey Cozad, who was the fire chief, and they married and later divorced, but all the while remaining good friends. Kathy found her career calling as a distribution specialist at FMC where she remained until her retirement in 2019. While at FMC she met the love of her life, Regis Mehal. They were married in 1999 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Even though they later divorced, they remained the best of friends and soul mates. Kathy helped care for Regis in his final years of decline and was by his side when he passed away in 2022.

Kathy enjoyed traveling with Regis to car shows, Nascar events with Regis's sons Dave, Doug and his wife Saima and their boys Derek and Dylan. She also enjoyed traveling with her sister Diane, abroad and within the U.S. One of her favorite places was her timeshare in Florida. She had traveled there many times with family and friends. Kathy was a fantastic cook and seamstress. She shared her delicious treats and meals with many. Another passion of Kathy's was animals.
