She devoted her life to caring for others, continually striving to raise the children of the world, along with her own.

Spending time with her five children and husband was a constant of enjoyment. She even developed a love for their dog, Cannon, and cat, Waldo. Kathleen strived to show her faith and love to all she encountered; graciously tipping, offering a hug, or assisting a neighbor.
