So sorry to hear of Kathleen passing away. She was a great Foster Grandma.
Thinking of the family ❤️
We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Conway-Markham Funeral Home – New Hampton
Deepest sympathy to Kathleens family.
Kathy would stay at my house or I would stay at hers. I remember after high school graduation I went home with her to join her celebration. She visited me at the College of St. Teresa in Winona. We missed curfew and were locked out of the dorm by the nuns. Luckily I had a hippy type friend and we crashed at her pad.
My favorite memories of Kathie were my children disappearing to her house almost everyday! She always had apple juice ready wnd loved their sleepovers! Her family are in our thoughts the neighborhood wont be 5he same without her.
