Kathleen Smith

As an owner of Life Essentials, I work in all areas including but not limited to sales, purchasing, organizer, cook, and bottle washer. Due to my combination of backgrounds in both management and farming, I enjoy overseeing our operations in hardware, tools, and mechanics of the Life Essential equipment.  

I have a passion for helping people, who's lives have been turned up side down by a accident or illness, to help them get back to as close to their former life as we possibly can.
