Kathleen moved to Warrenton, VA in 2003, where she taught at Brumfield and Greenville Elementary schools. She touched many lives in her career and received hugs, cards and greetings from former students who always said she was their favorite teacher. Kathleen was an active member of her church, and served as a member and an officer in the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary. She was also the Co-captain of the Greenville Elementary Relay for Life team and an honorary member of the United States Army Transportation Corps Wives Club.
