Kathy served with The Red Cross overseas in Germany in the late 60’s and loved to travel throughout Europe. After her first marriage, Kathy moved to Massachusetts where she lived until 2006 when she returned home to Ste Genevieve, MO. Upon her return, she volunteered at Ste. Genevieve Memorial Hospital and worked as a secretary for St. Joseph’s parish and school until retirement in 2020. Kathy enjoyed long walks on the family farm and loved to travel, but most of all enjoyed doing these things with her children and grandchildren. Kathy was a dedicated and loyal friend, getting together for lunch once a month with a group of her high school pals. She was very generous to many charities and was a most passionate advocate for the unborn. We will always remember her smile, no matter how difficult things got. The best way we could honor her memory would be to respect, celebrate, and choose life.
