She graduated early in 1973, and on August 11, 1973, she married Mike, eventually celebrating over 51 years of marriage and love together. Mike and Kathy lived in Ohio and Indiana before settling down in the Chicago suburbs to raise their family. Kathy will be remembered for her incredibly kind heart, a desire to do good in the world, and, most of all, for being a selfless and devoted mother and grandmother.
