Kathleen lived a full life built on hard work, dedication, and love for her family. She spent 38 years working at Statler Tissue.

Kathy was blessed when her granddaughter Katie was born and was proud to share the same name with her. Kathy also enjoyed walking to the CARA fields to watch her grandson Justin play baseball. She was one of his biggest fans in the stands for several years.
