Kathryn worked for 18 years for Simplicity Pattern in the Glasseen Dept. After the kids were gone in 1972, she became a housewife and stayed at home. She loved to bake things, always making sure someone had cookie, cakes or pies. Also, she loved to sew, always making pillows and crafts. Kathryn was a very independent woman, never asking for help after her husband, Alvin, passed in 1979. In 2013 she went to a private home to be cared for due to heath issues.
