Kathy was a wonderful person. I knew her through Peace With Christ Lutheran in Ft. Collins. We played tennis together every morning for a few years in the summertime. She played well and dressed well for the part. The rest of us looked pretty scruffy! My husband and I also spent some great dinner times at the Holzhauer home. I know you will miss her, but I know she was a Christian and is with our Lord. God be with you.
Sincerely,
Linda and Larry Siegfried
Our sympathies to all of you. We have included Kathleen\’s obituary in the St Paul Lutheran School, Fairmont alumni newsletter, so her friends and daughters\’ classmates know her earthly life has ended. Psalm 121:1-2
I am the son of Emma Brammeier. The Rev. Herbert Brammeier was my father. He was a brother to Hilda Schmidt, Kathleen was my cousin. Good memories of her parents; George and Hilda as well as remembering Kathleen and “Bud”.
Blessings to Kathleen’s family during this time!
