Kathleen Ann McClellan

Kathleen was born in Orlando, Florida on Jan 8th, 1944, to William and Alice Hodges. She grew up in Kalamazoo Michigan. She Graduated at Nazareth Academy Catholic school for girls in 1962. Kathleen joined the Navy to become an Air traffic controller. She was stationed in Millington Tennessee where she met Billy McClellan. In 1964 she married Billy.

Kathleen interests were as vibrant as her personality. She had a flair for fashion and a love for music. She sang in the Leigh Valley Sweet Adeline for 10 years while living in Easton Pa. She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church for over 30 years in Wichita falls. She was also a member of Newcomers and Red Hats society to name a few. She loved to travel with family and friends. She loved to care for her grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and friends’ children.

Kathleen’s passing leaves a void in their hearts of those that knew her, but her spirit will continue to inspire and guide us. Her laughter, her love of life, and her ability to make everyone feel cherished. She will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
