Kathleen was an avid gardener and her passion was growing flowers, but she raised plenty of fruits and vegetables for her family. Kathleen was a very active individual, artistic with her painting, gardening and homemaking. She made excellent clothes for herself and her family, a true talent. Kathleen enjoyed travel, camping and creating celebrations as they arose for the family. After thirty years of homemaking she had a thirty year career at the Farmington Livestock Market that she loved. She will also be remembered for her awesome cooking skills. By far, Kathleens biggest life accomplishment was her role as a mother of ten children, 9 boys and 1 girl.
