Kathleen was a 45-year employee of Disneyland, starting out serving tacos and working her way up to a scheduler.  Her love for dogs led her to work as a dog sitter and her passion for Dalmatians was unmatched, leading to a huge collection of memorabilia from the movie 101 Dalmatians.  She once dressed up as Cruella DeVille with a full length spotted coat.  She would save up her vacation time to make an annual driving visit to family in Michigan.  She was a Lieutenant in Orange High School's Drill Team, once marching in the Bi-Centinel parade in Washington DC.  She was known to her family as "K-Dot" embracing that name to have a vanity plate with K-Dots on it.  She got that name when she was 5 or 6 as the score sheet for a card game had two columns, one read Kevin and K. while the other was David and D.  She was insistent that K. was "NOT MY NAME!"  Her brothers could not resist and started calling her K. for the rest of her life.  Her three brothers were at her side when her 20+ year battle with Cancer took her in the end.  Rest in peace, you fought the hard fight.
