Beautiful daughter and sister, Katie Marie Prosser, was born on August 28th, 1978 in Santa Clara, CA. She began dancing for the creator on August 1st, 2006, after a tragic automobile accident.

Katie was one of the original founders of Sacred Dreams Custom Beadwork (1999). Together with the current artist, Debra Mills, they sought to bring their beautiful artwork to others who shared their love for beads and beauty.

Katie was a 1996 graduate from Pleasant Valley High School and had recently completed her Nurses Aide certification. She was pursuing a career in nursing.

Katie loved cars, especially low riders. She had recently started her own business, "Southside Customs", where she did auto-upholstry, auto-painting, and bodywork. She also enjoyed many forms of music, from rap to country to oldies, and she had a beautiful singing voice.

She embraced her Cherokee and Chocktaw heritage and was artisitcally creative in beadworking. She loved to dance at PowWows, and especially enjoyed the Fancy Dance in her native regalia and beautifually beaded shawl (see picture above) made for her by her godmother, Debra Mills.

Katie was a loving, giving person. Never a day went by when she wasn't engaged in helping someone. Her smile and joy will be greatly missed.
