She grew up in The City, attending the Convent of the Sacred Heart School on Broadway from kindergarten through high school. She attended Santa Clara University and then the University of San Francisco, where she graduated with a bachelor of arts degree. Like her mother, she chose a career in education and taught in San Francisco’s inner city elementary schools for 30 years, passing up repeated offers of promotion to remain in a classroom. On retiring, she took up full-time residence in her home here, which she purchased almost 20 years ago. She loved living in the Sonoma Valley and volunteered at service organizations including Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau, the Sonoma International Film Festival, and teaching English at La Luz Center. She also contributed to the community by her participation in Impact 100 Sonoma. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Sister Joan McKenna, Society of the Sacred Heart.

Kathy brought life and light and love into every room she entered and she lived, as did her sister, by the admonition in Micah 6-8 to "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God."
