She was sister-in-law, friend, class mother to many.
She loved to read, sew and being a homemaker. She enjoyed cruises, camping at the property, vacationing in Bermuda, local history, Ireland, holidays, family gatherings, football games, geraniums, canning, baking, especially her crumb cake. Most of all, our Grandchildren.
She battled cancer for 33 years. Early on, she made a deal with God, she just wanted to see her kids grow up and get married. She said everything after that was a bonus. There were many miracles along the way. There were also many great doctors especially, Dr. Bruce Kappel who treated Kathy for 33 years.
She always found the good in people. Despite everything, Kathy always said, “It could always be worse.” What an amazing woman and will forever be in our hearts.
