Kathleen and Curly resided in Tallulah most of their married life until his death in 1976. Kathleen was a devoted mother serving the Lord by providing her children with a daily example of Christ’s love for them. She was an active member of St. Edward Catholic Church for 75 years in Tallulah. She was employed at Tallulah Academy for many years, then she began traveling with her “girlfriends”. She was an avid Bridge player in three different clubs. Most of us remember her for her famous Peach Cobbler which was a must at every family reunion.
