Kathy Roberts, a longtime employee of Cal Spas, died Oct. 19, 2015, in her sleep of natural causes. She was 63.

Known as “The Spa Lady,” Roberts was at the spa-manufacturing firm more than 17 years and served as its business development manager. Well-known and respected in the spa and hot tub sector, she was considered charismatic and influential, not only within the company, but also in the industry.

“We are all stunned and saddened by the loss of one of the most significant members of the Cal Spas family,” said Casey Loyd, Cal Spas president. “She was the best at what she did, the best in the industry. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.”
