Known for her spitfire personality that showed until the end. Kathleen loved her music and her favorite artists, namely Kenny Rodgers, Dolly Parton, and Elvis. She found joy in watching her favorite TV programs on The Food Network and enjoyed her favorite sports team, the Las Vegas Knights. One of her much-loved pastimes included watching her favorite movie, "Dirty Dancing" and watching Hells Kitchen. She loved her animals and often volunteered at the local Vegas Animal shelter earlier in her life.
Although Kathleen's absence leaves a void that can never be filled, her life and memories are a treasure to those who knew and loved her. We take comfort in knowing that her loving spirit lives on through her family and the countless lives she touched.
