Dear friend and crafting buddy to many.
Kathy was a graduate of Lourdes Academy and later in life Cuyahoga Community College. She worked for many years at the Cleveland Engineering Society, H&R Block, and The Browns stadium before starting her career at Metrohealth. She was an active member of St. Boniface Parish; involved in Alter and Rosary Society, Parish Council, and making baptism bibs. She was also responsible for their Christmas Boutique crafts for many years; making the crafts and getting “the Ladies” together to make others. She was an avid crafter making quilts, different sewing projects, flower arrangements, cards and paper crafts, and many others for those she cared about most. She passed her love of crafts down to her daughter (and even son-in-law) and her grandchildren. Kathy also enjoyed spending time at the beach with her toes in the sand. She was an amazing person and friend and will be missed by many.
