"Kathy", as she was also known as, was the only child and was extremely close to her mother. At 5:45 a.m. on Monday, March 24, 2014, she closed her eyes and went home to be with her Lord. Kathy accepted Christ at an early age at First Antioch Baptist Church, when it was located on 9th Street in downtown Cincinnati. She served as church secretary for many years.

Kathryn started working at the Internal Revenue Service at the Federal Building in Cincinnati, then over to the Covington, Kentucky location. She later resigned from the IRS so that she could raise her children and take care of her ailing mother. During this time, she helped support her family by being a seamstress. Many prominent Cincinnatians chose Kathy as "their" seamstress. She especially liked Vogue patterns and created her own style. Many brides walked down the aisle in Kathy's creation. Anything that could be sewn, Kathy made it. Her husband was especially proud of the suits that she made for him. She also enjoyed cooking, canning and baking for her family and friends.
