Kathleen McDonald Obituary

McDonald, Kathleen Jane

passed away unexpectedly on June 8, 2024, at the age of 75. She was preceded in death by her husband, William A. Lahrmann, Jr., and by her parents, G. Washington and Lucille McDonald. She was the beloved sister of Julie Lorenz, Dr. Tom McDonald and John McDonald, adoring aunt of Scott, Gary and (Trish) Lorenz, Michelle and (Ken) Chastain, Dana and (Ed) Denker, and Drew McDonald. She is survived by step-children, cousins, sisters in-law and brothers-in-law and many treasured friends.

She grew up in Glendale, MO, graduated from Webster Groves High School, and went on to become an accountant/office manager for a number of St. Louis businesses. Kathy lived every day to the fullest, made a friend of everyone she met, and we will always remember her generous spirit, beautiful smile and infectious laugh.
