It was while attending TCU that she was introduced to Albert H. Meyer of Houston, TX. Shortly after graduation in 1953 they married and moved to Houston where she started her long career as an RN. During her career Kathryn held many different positions at hospitals in the Houston & Corpus Christi areas. She specialized as an OR Nurse, served as head of OR Nursing, taught Operating Room Techniques and for many years was a private scrub nurse for an orthopedic surgeon in Corpus Christi, TX. She always joked that the she specialized in the operating room because the patients were knocked out by the time she saw them.

Kathryn & Albert had four children and worked hard their entire lives to provide a good life for their children. She enjoyed reading, golf and her family.
