A member of St. Margaret's RC Church, Kathleen graduated from Central Catholic HS, worked at New York Life insurance, and later as a cashier at Boscov’s and Rite-Aid. She actively supported the Cub Scouts at St. Margaret’s, her friends in good times and bad, and could always be counted on for food. Mom enjoyed holiday gatherings, summer weekends and picnics at the bungalow, and red. She leaves a legacy of a sharp wit, excellent recipes, and a request of a glass of beer at picnics in remembrance.
