Stories Remembered

Because every story deserves to be remembered

At Stories Remembered, I help individuals and families capture life stories through guided interviews and transform them into beautifully written, professionally designed books that can be treasured for generations.

Personal, Guided Interviews

Warm, thoughtful conversations designed to bring out meaningful memories—even from those who think they don't have much to say.

Beautiful Keepsake Books

Your words are carefully edited, organized, and paired with photos to create a timeless printed book your family will cherish.

A Lasting Legacy

More than a memoir—your story becomes a gift for children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come.

Stories connect us. They remind us where we came from and who we are.
Let's make sure yours is remembered.

About Stories Remembered

Why I Started This Work

Why I Started Stories Remembered

Hi, I'm Kathy Dailey, founder of Stories Remembered.

My love for storytelling began with my own family. I created life story books for my mother and my mother-in-law—gathering their memories through interviews, weaving in photos, and preserving stories that might otherwise have been lost. Watching their joy as they held their finished books made something very clear to me: this work matters.

I've always been passionate about genealogy, family history, and meaningful connection. But more than dates and facts, I believe in preserving the heart of a life—the stories, lessons, humor, challenges, and love that define us.

Stories Remembered was created to make this process easy, comfortable, and deeply meaningful. You don't need to be a writer. You just need a story—and everyone has one worth telling.

Mission Statement

My mission is simple: To help people feel seen, heard, and remembered—by preserving their stories with care, respect, and heart and helping to get their stories in the hands of as many loved ones as possible so their stories will live on.
