She graduated from Liberty High school in 1948.  Kathleen married Jesse Vernon Coffman on December 24, 1949.  Kathleen worked at Mercer Dress in Burgin for many years as well as Capps Uniform, Where she made band uniforms, flags and rifles for high school bands.  She and her husband loved to camp.  They took trips with the family to the Smoky Mountains, and Florida each year, until her husband started having heart trouble.  She enjoyed being outside in her yard or relaxing under a shade tree.  She loved being around people and always put a smile on their faces.  Her laugh will be missed.
