Kathy was an employee of the Metropolitan Council for 53 years where she worked as a Senior Administrative Specialist. Her strong work ethic, caring nature and team camaraderie were much appreciated by her fellow employees.

Kathy loved to follow sports teams with her loving companion, Cliff, and her brother, John. Her three favorite teams were the Timberwolves, the Lynx, and the Vikings. Her love of interior decorating and fashion were shared by her friends who modeled with her at Chico's on Grand Ave. Anyone who spent time with Kathy knew how she hated winter.
