I met Kathleen when she was my mother Irene's roommate at Fort Hudson. She was a hoot! Always in a great mood and always telling stories about her life and how proud she was of her kids! My mother couldn't have asked for a better roommate! I was sorry to read of her passing :(

Kathleen was my mother Irene’s roommate at Fort Hudson. She was always so bright and cheerful when we would visit, a bright spot in the day! I’m sure she will be missed very much
