Kathleen, one of the original members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, was involved in many church activities until the time of her death.

In her work with the Los Alamos hospital she had various roles such as being a member of the auxiliary, working at the information desk and for many years was a member of a group who made teddy bears for children in the hospital.
