Foster’s Ice Cream Lady recognized for great service

We all scream for ice cream!

That is exactly what happens on the days when Katrina McGaughey, also known as the Ice Cream Lady, is at Foster Dining Hall.

McGaughey, from Dixonville, 10 miles east of Indiana, is actually a milkshake and cake lover. So why does she serve ice cream here on IUP's campus?

"I enjoy my job," said McGaughey. "If I wasn't interacting with y'all I wouldn't enjoy it as much."

Katrina, a chocolate peanut butter cup lover, does more than just serve ice cream. She enjoys taking care of her Pit Bull puppy, Dude. She also enjoys camping at Cook Forest and tubing down the Clarion River with her family-sized party tube that holds eight adults.

"I'm huge on family," she said. "I have a very active family life."

Katrina likes to spend time with her daughter, Brandy, and her two grandsons, Harley, 4 1/2, and Zachary, 1. She also takes care of her mentally handicapped brother, George.
