She was born in Camden NJ on April 28, 1948 to Thomas and Margaret (Fallon) Dickinson. Kathleen attended St. Joseph East Camden Grade School and Camden Catholic High School. She worked as a medical transcriber for West Jersey Hospital for several years, then in varying doctors offices. A true passion for her was child care which she also worked in for some years.
