A 1959 Falmouth High School graduate, Kathryn worked as an accountant and internal auditor with Proctor & Gamble in Cincinnati, OH, from 1978-2002.

From 1953, when her family moved to Falmouth, KY, Kathryn has been a member of St. Francis Xavier Church, where she volunteered as bookkeeper, and supported church projects and functions as long as her health allowed, with the Lenten Fish Fry and the Food Pantry being two of her favorites. In retirement, she also volunteered with the AARP Tax Aid, through the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Program, providing help to families in Pendleton, Campbell, Kenton and Boone Counties.
