Within an organization, you often find individuals that leave a lasting impression; that evoke the true culture and unity that breathes life into an organization. These individuals radiate joy, curiosity, passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. In honor of a dear friend and team member that represented all of these and more, with her passing we thought to share a piece of Tanglewood with our community.

Remembering A Dear Friend

If you had the pleasure of working with Kathy who was part of our engineering team, then you have witnessed her kind heart, deep love for art, architecture, design, and her remarkable bond within the Tanglewood family. Her passion for her work shined through; piecing together intricate puzzles, simplifying complex concepts, and creating designs that are elegant and robust for our clients was an artform for Kathy.

She would embrace the challenges that come with her role, eagerly navigating through obstacles to find innovative solutions. The gratification she felt when witnessing the designs come to life is immeasurable. Every step of the journey, from initial conception to the final product, filled Kathy with a sense of accomplishment and pride. Her dedication and craftsmanship serve as an inspiration to her colleagues, fostering a creative environment where dreams become a reality.

We came across a note she published about her experience working at Tanglewood – she wrote:

“I love my job. So, I suppose it’s not even a job, is it?

I put puzzles together, take complicated and make it simple, elegant, strong. It’s intense, and challenging but it’s also immeasurably gratifying when I can take a concept, put it on paper, then see it come to life.”

The Tanglewood Family:

At Tanglewood, something extraordinary happens beyond the exceptional work that is produced. The team has cultivated a unique family spirit that nurtures and uplifts each member. Kathy was not alone in her passion and commitment; she was surrounded by a group of like-minded individuals who share the same sense of purpose and dedication. This familial bond extends beyond the confines of their roles, creating an atmosphere of support, collaboration, and encouragement.

With a team of over 35, there are a lot of names and faces you will get to meet at various stages of the process. As we work on the shop drawings for your conservatory, you may have the opportunity to work with Duane, one of our lead engineers who has been with our team for over 15 years mastering his craft to transform your conservatory design into a building plan that brings your vision to life. Or when you see our truck coming down your driveway to start installing your conservatory, you may be looking to greet our lead construction craftsman, Dennis!

While we could highlight every individual at Tanglewood, we encourage you to get to know our team as you work with them! Their passion and dedication have become ingrained in the fabric of the organization, shaping the company culture and embodying the spirit of creativity, resilience, and collaboration that defines Tanglewood.

In loving memory of Kathy and the impact she made on us here at Tanglewood. We will forever be grateful for her and her remarkable journey. Our team’s united spirit at Tanglewood reminds us that work can be so much more than a “job.”
