K.C. was born December 14, 1960 in Charleston, South Carolina. She was the daughter of the late Henry Sinclair Dangerfield and Dorothy May (Ham) Dangerfield. 

She grew up on James Island as the sister to three older brothers. She attended Clemson University and graduated with a degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism. After working in the hotel industry for several years, she went on to a life of service with the South Carolina Social Security/Disability Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. She received both state and national recognition and awards for her accomplishments with the department. K.C. thoroughly enjoyed her work and her co-workers brought her great joy.

K.C. was active in the life of Westminster Presbyterian Church, serving as both deacon and a dedicated member of the choir. She enjoyed singing and spent many years studying under the direction of her voice coach Loretta Haskell.  She was a faithful daughter in the care of her mother. She enjoyed her nieces and nephews very much, and adored their children. Her cat YoYo was a sometimes constant yet always faithful friend.

K.C. passed after a long battle with metastatic breast cancer which she faced with courage and faith. She remained active and working throughout this time and always optimistic. She had a way of always smiling and letting Jesus' love shine through her.

She is preceded in death by her father Henry Sinclair Dangerfield, her brothers Henry "Hank" Sinclair Dangerfield, Jr., and Michael "Mike" Allen Dangerfield. She is survived by her mother Dorothy "Dot" May Ham Dangerfield,  her brother Douglas Martin Dangerfield, her niece, Katherine Dangerfield Edwards (Will), and her nephew, James Michael Dangerfield (Maggie), as well as three great-nieces and one great-nephew.
