Franklin High School in 1996(Yellow Jacket).Then she moved to the city of Sacramento, CA where she
attended Sacramento State College. There she received her Bachelor Degree in Music Education. Then she
attended Sacramento City College where she received two AA’s one in Liberal Studies & one in Music Audio
Production & Music Business Management and she also has received numerous Certificates. In April 2004 she
became a Phi Theta Kappa . Katoya’s Passion was teaching children, her Motto was: “To Empower, To
Enrich, To Enlighten” In 2011 she started her company Drummer’s with Education which taught children
about percussion and helped to develop character education. She was so proud of her drum line. In 2013 they
won "Best in Show" in the Fulton Arden 4th of July Parade. Katoya performed with many bands throughout

“Drummers with Education”
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall
give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
II Timothy 4:7
We would like to take this time to say thanks for all you have done for us in our time of bereavement.
