She married Roger Karl Zarse in Milwaukee, WI in 1970. The couple later moved to Waukesha, WI where they raised their children.

We will always remember how excited Sugar would become when Kathy Roger and Bear came to the Doggy Park. We will miss her. She is with Gabby now at the Doggy Park over the Rainbow Bridge. Hope to see Roger and Bear at the Doggy Park in the future.

A dear neighbor, commonly known as "Granny Pal" and dear friend Kathy is already sadly missed. Hard to believe she held all those positions!! It's also hard to believe we are going to have to wait to catch up on the kids, life's daily events, along with all the many memories we have from lunches & helping one another celebrate life events that occur and then figuring out why things happen in life the way they do. I know she will save me a place nearby...until we meet again....my condolences to Roger and the family.
her Granny pal, Cassy,
