Kathy married her high-school sweetheart, Jack, and the newlywed couple moved to Atlanta, GA in 1978 where they would spend the next 40 years. Kathy worked for the DeKalb county school system and focused on raising her two children (Megan and Jeffrey). She enjoyed exercising, her friends, baking her famous coffee cake, volunteering, Rod Stewart concerts, and most importantly – her 5 grandchildren.
