Very sorry to hear about this. Kathleen was like a second mom to my own mother Cheryl. We are heartbroken over the news an keep the family in our thoughts.
I remember as a child do many good times with Auntie Kathy, Uncle Ron, and Trevor, Travis and Shannon. One time we were visiting in the summer and they had a 12 foot vinyl pool set up in the garage. Kathy and the other adults were deep in conversation, and I (reason unknown) lost my balance and fell backwards into the pool fully clothed. The ensuing tidal wave was something to behold. Regardless of spillage and mess, the incident was met with concern for my well being and a great sense of humour. We were always welcomed at Kathy’s house. She welcomed everyone. The world has lost someone truly exceptional.
Our condolences to the Olson and Sapergia families.
Ron. You and your family have our condolences, We are so sorry for your loss ,It has been awhile we were surprised and saddened
to hear about Kathy, Take Care BUD.

Ron and Family so sorry to hear of Kathy passing our deepest Condolences to you and your Family.
I missed my Cousin Kathleen’s smile, always, so she’s lovely drawing horses. I was a little girl looking at beautiful horse pictures. She felt very heart of horses. She’s very heartwarming personality.
She’s at rest in peace, enjoying an angel riding a horse.
Blessing & Love Cousin
