Kathryn was born September 13, 1931, in Cranberry Twp. to the late George and Laura (Laipply) Green, “she was the eighth of nine children”.

Kathryn will be remembered for her zest for life, never-ending energy, creativity, and fun. She was an avid gardener and her home was surrounded with beautiful flowers and herb gardens. She was also an accomplished weaver on both the 2 and 4 harness looms. Kathryn won many ribbons at the Crawford Co. Fair for weaving.
Kathryn was a fabulous cook and her family dinners were an event. Her homemade chocolate-covered cherries and turtles will never be forgotten. Not to mention all the cookies she made for the Christmas season.
