Kathleen Kerber - Leppert Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
For the past 20 years, Kathleen taught early childhood education at Drummond Montessori in the Chicago Public Schools. There, she was a teacher beloved by children, parents and colleagues. Kathleen taught with wisdom, warmth and an unwavering commitment to serve each child with intention and love.
From an early age, Kathleen nurtured others-starting with dolls, siblings, neighbors, pets, the children she babysat, and then her nieces and nephews. Kathleen's greatest dream came true with her marriage to Joe and the births of their beautiful daughters, Margaret and Sarah. She cherished being a mother and poured love into her family with every moment she had.
Kathleen found great joy in celebrating traditions like St. Patricks Day with Irish revelry, and decorating gingerbread at Christmas, and, the highlight of the year, a lake trip, filled with laughs and adventures with the family she loved.
She is survived by her husband, Joe Leppert; her daughters Margaret and Sarah; her parents, Pete and Meg Kerber; her siblings, Kevin (Bonnie) Kerber and Julie (Jason) Leopold; and, a large extended family.
