On August 17, 1982, Kathleen married the love of her life, Ernie Farr. Over 45 beautiful years together, Ernie fondly referred to her as a "gift from God" and "one in a million." Their love was the foundation of their home, where Kathy was the "Sunshine of Home." Together, they enjoyed exploring New England, with a particular fondness for Vermont. They also shared a deep admiration for Elvis Presley, and a memorable trip to Graceland was one of the highlights of their life together. Kathleen had a special love for collectibles and Christmas, with Angels holding a particularly special place in her heart. She was fiercely protective of her family and devotedly cared for her baby sister throughout her life. Her warm smile and loving nature will be remembered by all who knew her.
