Kathleen was born on December 10, 1948 in Hammond, IN. She was a 1965 graduate of East Chicago Washington High School. She was a dedicated, hard-working Certified Nursing Assistant for over 30 years. Kathleen was an avid reader and a professional gardener in her own rights. She LOVED her Irish heritage and her Tennessee roots. Jeopardy was one of her all-time favorite shows and she could not be disturbed between 3:30PM and 4PM. She enjoyed collecting pig figurines and was a champion crossword and word find puzzler. Kathleen could not resist the Region’s finest…White Castle.
The family would like to extend our deep appreciation to the Regency Hospital staff for the care of Kathleen in her final days. Thank you.
Kathleen will be deeply missed by her family.
