She was elected President of the Associated Women’s Students at Phoenix College in 1950, was president of the Honor Board and named Outstanding Woman of her graduating class. Kathy is a graduate "With Distinction" from the Arizona State University and taught for a season at Machan Elementary School. This was the beginning of a forty-year career as an elementary teacher in four states.
In December of 1952 Kathy married Lawrence A. Hinshaw of Phoenix and heard with him the call to Christian Ministry through the United Methodist Church. While Larry was receiving his education at Boston University School of Theology, Kathy taught in the Melrose School and later at Rockland. She paired with Larry in ministry at the Church Hill United Methodist Church in Norwell.

Later, Kathy taught at the La Escuelita Pre School in Tucson, and at the Laguna Elementary School. In Phoenix she taught at the Las Lomas and the Vista Elementary Schools in the Kyrene District until her retirement.

She traveled widely to Europe, Ireland and England, the Middle East, Africa, the Mediterranean and the Orient as well as Mexico and South America.

Reverend Dr. Lawrence A. Hinshaw (1931 - 2016) Larry Hinshaw passed away on November 13, 2016, after a battle with cancer. Born in Phoenix on December 16, 1931, he was the second of four children of Asahel Delma Hinshaw and Maude Sanders Hinshaw.

He attended North Phoenix High School and graduated from Phoenix College, Arizona State College (now ASU), with a B.S in Social Welfare. Next, he attended Boston University School of Theology where he earned Master's degrees in Divinity and Social Ethics. Later he attended Claremont School of Theology where he received a Doctorate of Ministry. During his formative years he began to feel a pull to the ministry as he participated in various activities at Central United Methodist church, where he later served as assistant minister, and later still as head pastor. It was also during this time that he met Kathy, who would be his soul mate, wife, and partner in ministry for the next 52+ years. In his calling to Methodist ministry, Larry led churches in Norwell, Mass., Encino, CA, Honolulu, HI, Tucson, AZ, and Phoenix, AZ. He served as the Santa Barbara District and the Phoenix District Superintendent and as Director of California Pacific Conference Programs Council. He also established churches in Africa, and was regarded as the "father" of the Arizona Walk to Emmaus, a powerful spiritual ministry directly responsible for leading many individuals into lifetimes of ministry of their own. Throughout his life, Larry was passionate about traveling and meeting new people. He and first wife Kathy traveled throughout the United States and the world, visiting and making friends in China, Africa, and beyond. After Kathy's death, Larry re-connected with Doreen Hart, a long-time family friend. Love blossomed, they married, and shared 11 wonderful years together. They also traveled the world together, and both recognized their new love late in life as a "special gift from God". Larry will be remembered by friends and loved ones for his zest for living, his infectious laugh, his concern for others, his sparkling intellect, and his kind and sharing heart. He will be missed dearly! Larry was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Kathleen, and survived by his wife of 11 years, Doreen, his 3 daughters, 3 stepsons and 12 grandchildren.
