She was raised in various places in the United States and graduated from Curtis High School in Staten Island, New York, NY. Kathleen attended the University of Nebraska and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in education. She was a teacher of children, teens and adults. Helping others to see the world around them and expressing it creatively was a true joy. She learned sign language through her church’s deaf ministry and shared the joy of salvation through worship, community service and teaching deaf children in their schools. Her family and home reflected her creative gift as well.
