Peter & Paul Church in Hamburg where she taught the First Communion class for many years. Kathleen was an avid fan of the tv game show "Jeopardy." She was also a wonderful cook and baker who will especially be remembered for her delicious homemade pizza, cookies and applesauce. Her greatest enjoyment came from having her friends and family sitting around the kitchen table catching up and reminiscing. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
