A young bride, Kathryn and her husband Bobby enjoyed 68 wonderful years together.

Kathryn was interested in history and loved to read. In college she became interested in anthropology and archeology, and her children fondly remember the many trips to Indian ruins and cultural sites in the Southwest region of the US, as well as travel to many of the US National Parks.
