She began her nursing career at the Lutheran Hospital in Beaver Dam and switched to Beaver Dam Community Hospital where she worked for over 20 years. She worked at Dean Clinic in Columbus before she retired because of her health. Kathy took pleasure in the things closest to her; she loved her family, especially her grandchildren, she loved her dogs, and she enjoyed baking and cooking.

I just saw Kathy at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago. And after we talked I thought.."Yes she still twinkles!" Every time I saw her over the years she always had this sparkle about her. Her face would light up and you can see the twinkle in her eyes. I think that''s what happens when you have a good soul. It shows to everyone you meet. I am so glad we met... I hope you find some comfort in knowing many people are thinking of you all and holding you in their thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your family. I was a year ahead of Kathy in school and a good friend of ours dated Mary in college. I never made the connection until last night. Kathy as a fun young lady and I think she carried the same bubbly personality through life. She will be missed. Again, so terribly sorry.

Dear Jessica and family, please accept my sincere sympathy in the passing of your mom. I only got the opportunity to work with her for a short while in Columbus, but enjoyed that time greatly. It was always a pleasure when she stopped in to say hello and there was sure to be some laughs as well. She will be missed by all. Take care.
