Kathleen was born and raised in the Bronx, she graduated from St. Pius High School and following graduation she went to secretarial school. Kathleen then began her career working in the Empire State Building. Kathleen would meet the love of her life, John, and the two would marry in 1964. A few years later they moved to Matawan to raise their young family.
Kathleen enjoyed bowling, quilting, cooking and spending time with her family. She loved to host big summer parties at their home. She has many memories and friends at the Keyport and Avalon Yacht Clubs, where she and her husband would go to watch sunsets. She loved going out to dinner and meeting new people while they were out. Some of Kathleen and her husband’s favorite spots were Yesterday’s, Huddy’s, Green Meadows just to name a few.
