Kathleen was a member of Kettering First Church of God (now Kettering Church) for many years serving on the Agape Committee and traveling to Haiti and Peru on mission trips.

She was a thoughtful, kind, and generous woman who gave unselfishly, always putting her needs last. She maintained an immaculate family home, and there was always a chair at the table for anyone who wanted a home-cooked meal.
