Kathleen lived a full life.  She loved to travel and spend time with her family.  Kathy cherished her annual trips to Hawaii with her dear friend Nancy.  She enjoyed golf, bridge, and bowling with her many friends.  As an avid sports fan, she loved cheering on the Utah Jazz and University of Utah Athletics.  She was very involved within the Catholic Church and served as treasurer for the National Council of Catholic Women.  She also volunteered with the Utah State Bowling Association and was a member of the Saint Olaf’s Council of Women.  She was especially proud to be a Blue Star Mother; all three of her sons served in different branches of the military.
