An only girl with six brothers, Kathleen Ann was born into an Irish family--a family who treasured their heritage.

Her love for quiet and peace was evident both in ministry and in her hobbies of tole painting, quilting, and baking. Family, friends and benefactors all reaped the harvest of her talents and generosity.

She is survived by her brothers Paul DuRoss, Joe DuRoss, Dan DuRoss, Neil DuRoss and many nieces and nephews.
