Kathleen Leonora Nussbaum, of Slidell, Louisiana, passed away on Wednesday, February 24, 2021. She was 76 years of age. She was born in New Orleans on April 15, 1944 to the late Willard Harold Nussbaum and Albertha Louise Scott Nussbaum. She is survived by her two daughters, Kathleen McInnis Lynchard (Larry) and Jennifer Karyn McInnis; her son, Scott Kirt McInnis (Kay); her sister, Cherylyn Mohr (Jimmy); and granddaughter, Joleen Nichole Sanchez (Victoria). Kathleen is also survived by many beloved cousins, nephews, and nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her sister, Cynthia Nussbaum.
Kathleen graduated in 1964 from Nicholls High School in New Orleans, and then attended Soulé Business College. She was an avid gardener with a green thumb. She loved her backyard which she had many beautiful gardens, and particularly loved her roses and could tell you about them and all the varieties and names. She loved her pets, Barney and Delilah, which both of them adopted her. She enjoyed working on genealogy for her family and compiled information dating back to the 1500’s. She loved spending time with her family and talking about current events. Kathleen grew up in New Orleans and spent the majority of her life there before moving to Slidell in 1983 where she resided until her passing.
The family would like to give special thanks to the wonderful staff at Ochsner Hospital in Slidell, and to AmeraCare Hospice, who treated her with dignity, and the family with compassion.
The family will have a private graveside service at Greenwood Cemetery in New Orleans.
