She met her husband, Perry at Panorama Bowl and they were married for 26 years. She was an animal lover. Her love of animals attracted her to Eastridge Animal Hospital. She owned dogs and cats. A few of her favorite events were going to Vermont in the Fall to enjoy the leaf changing, and Wednesday night coffee at Joe Diane's house. Kathleen enjoyed being a fan to her sons' sports, she liked the Baltimore Orioles, and her all-time favorite movie was The Sound of Music. She enjoyed reggae music and often said "jeez Louise". Friends and family would best describe Kathleen as giving, resilient, someone who put others first, an optimist, easy to talk to, social, quick to make friends, and having a calm demeanor. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
