She was a highly valued member of Hausman Group and will be missed by all there and especially her boss, Jay Zahn.

In her spare time, Kathy loved gardening and proudly displayed her beautiful hanging pots each spring around her house for everyone to enjoy. They gave her and all who saw them joy. She also loved reading, music, puzzles, the beach and anything Green Bay Packers.  She loved dogs of all kinds and in 2022 adopted Hawkin, her beloved, award winning, black lab, who gave her joy and laughs and purpose.

Lynn and Kathy enjoyed travelling to Florida each year, and also enjoyed trips to the Panama Canal and Alaska with her sister Jeanne and her husband John. She also loved gatherings of her family and was especially happy that the last 2 Thanksgivings were gatherings of her family and all of her brother & sisters families in Connecticut in 2023, and Columbus in 2024.
