Kathleen had an unforgettable spirit whose light shined brightly in every room she entered. From a young age, she has displayed love and passion for singing and fishing, inspiring those around her with her boundless love and gifting.

She was deeply committed to her faith and her community, and known for her infectious smile, warm spirit, and unwavering kindness.

Kathleen touched the lives of everyone she met. Her energy and passion for life will never be forgotten. Though her time with us is gone, her legacy of love, compassion, and faith will continue to inspire all who knew her. She was the neighborhood mother.

Rest in peace dear Kathleen, your radiance and love will forever echo in our hearts.
