Kathy, was a teacher for thirty-five years in Bennington VT. She taught literally thousands of students the art of business communication all the way from shorthand to typing, to computer communications. She gave many hours of her own time to her students starting work early and leaving late almost every day.
Her fun time was golf. She enjoyed many years of playing with friends at Mt Anthony Country Club along with Ron and their children.
Kathy was an avid Boston sports fan. She was known to cheer so loud just watching TV that people would think she was sitting at the game.
Kathy was fortunate to have the support of an outstanding oncologist in Worcester, MA Dr. David Shepro and his staff. She called Dr Shepro's team the miracle workers. With their care and innovation Kathy believed they gave her an extra eleven years of life.
