She left no message under the young man’s picture after meeting Santa, which her relatives found strange.
They became increasingly concerned when they were unable to reach the 32-year-old by phone or text.
Panicking, her mother Elaine Beech burst into her home in Royton, Greater Manchester, where she found Katy unresponsive on December 16.
She took her own life.
Speaking about the tragic day and the “wake of devastation” that followed, she told the Manchester Evening News: “We couldn’t get hold of her all day.
“Her daughter was meeting Santa that day and we were waiting for her to comment on the photo of meeting him [on Facebook]but the comment did not arrive.
“We went around, broke in and found her.
“It was a complete shock. She kept everything to herself.”
Katy, who worked at Revolution on Deansgate Locks in Manchester, was known as the ‘green diva’ thanks to her love of colour.
Friends said she wore it every day and was even buried in a green coffin.

“Everywhere she went, she had green,” Elaine said.
“Her nails were painted green, she dressed in green, everything she wanted to do was green.
“I have no idea where it came from, but all the accessories in her house were green.”
Katy was described as a “very funny” person who was loved by her family, friends and colleagues.

On August 10, Katy’s friends climbed Scafell Pike, Cumbria, to raise money for Child Bereavement UK – the charity supporting her daughter.
In total they donated £3,150.
“She didn’t realize how much she was loved,” Elaine said.
“They will never forget Katy – she was a diamond.”
