Born to Doris E. and Melvin Danielson on February 3, 1948 in Minneapolis, MN, Kathleen, known to loved ones as Kathy, was a beacon of strength, resilience, and unwavering love.
Kathy was preceded in passing by her beloved mother, Doris Danielson, and father, Melvin Danielson.
She leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication in her surviving family: her devoted husband, David Kosmecki; her loving daughter, Kristina Andrusko-Bipes and her children, Austin and Ava; her beloved son, Blake Andrusko; cherished step-daughter, Tracy (Luke) Wisher (Kosmecki); and dear step-granddaughters, Mirabella and Juniper Wisher; and her brother, Michael Danielson, and his family.
Kathy was a successful Real Estate agent who served many clients throughout her satisfying career. She and her husband Dave later ventured into owning and operating a mortgage company before retiring. Beyond her professional milestones, Kathy found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved spending time with her family, particularly doting on her grandchildren. She had a green thumb, and found peace in maintaining her garden and growing large pumpkins. An accomplished cook and baker, Kathy's Kitchen was a hub of warmth and delectable creations. Her dishes were not just meals, but expressions of her love for her family, and she found immense pleasure in seeing them enjoy her culinary creations.
