The United States Air Force community and countless friends and loved ones across the country are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Katy Flosi, cherished wife of Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David A. Flosi, who passed away unexpectedly on September 20, 2025, due to medical complications.

Her passing has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved her — a wife, mother, friend, and devoted supporter whose warmth, kindness, and unwavering spirit touched countless hearts.

Katy’s life was defined by grace, strength, and service. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, she met her future husband, David Flosi, while they were still in high school. The two shared a deep and enduring love, marrying in 1997 and building a life filled with shared dreams, family, and dedication to the Air Force community.

Before becoming a military spouse, Katy followed her passion for dance, performing as a professional ballerina with Ballet Arizona from 1992 to 1994. Her discipline, creativity, and determination — qualities that defined her dance career — later shaped every aspect of her life, from raising a family to serving alongside her husband during his distinguished Air Force career.

Throughout Chief Flosi’s decades of service, Katy was a steadfast source of strength and support. She embraced the challenges and opportunities of military life with resilience and optimism, often volunteering with spouse support groups and community organizations.

She was especially proud of her work during the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteering at the Tinker Thrift Store to help raise funds for scholarships and spouse outreach programs at a time when many families were struggling. Her dedication to the well-being of others reflected the core of who she was — selfless, compassionate, and always willing to lend a hand.

Katy’s greatest joy, however, was her family. Together, she and David raised three wonderful children — Hannah, Bella, and Jack — guiding them through life’s milestones and supporting them as they navigated school, including time spent in German and Italian educational systems during the family’s overseas assignments. Her love for her children knew no bounds, and she took immense pride in their achievements and the people they were becoming.

Beyond her roles as wife and mother, Katy was known for her vibrant personality and zest for life. She found joy in the simple things — camping, cooking for her loved ones, and listening to podcasts during quiet moments. Friends remember her as someone who made every room brighter, someone who could lift spirits with a smile, and someone whose warmth made everyone feel like family.

Chief Flosi shared a heartfelt tribute following her passing: “Sadly, I need to share the unexpected passing of my beloved Katy. Our family is heartbroken. We will heal, and I appreciate your kindness as we do.”

Katy Flosi’s life was one of love, service, and grace. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her husband, children, family, friends, and the countless people she touched throughout her life. As the Air Force family and broader community mourn this profound loss, they honor Katy’s legacy — a life dedicated to love, resilience, and compassion.

She will be deeply missed but forever remembered for the joy she brought to others and the enduring impact she left behind.
