I never had the pleasure of meeting Kathleen, but I have had the privilege of knowing her through stories that my friend Kathy Denlinger told. Beautiful stories that made me wish that I had an aunt just like her. Rip Kathleen, I know from the bottom of my heart that somewhere you are a beautiful shining star that we should all look look up to.♥️♥️♥️

I so enjoyed getting to know Kathleen. There was never a shortage of things for us to talk about. We liked to end our visits with praying the Hail Mary together. Kathleen wanted to welcome her 90th birthday and she reached that milestone. Sending sympathty to her family and friends as they grieve her loss.
