Kathleen passed on April 27th surrounded by her loving family. She was born March 7th, 1934 in St Louis, MO to Edward and Katherine Richter. She was the beloved wife of Thomas Wilhelm (deceased). Dear mother to Marie (Kevin) Grubb, Betty Wilhelm, Anne (Tony) Knittig, Tom (April) Wilhelm, Ed (Tana) Wilhelm and Daniel (Jennifer) Wilhelm. Dear sister to Connie Ramsey. Kathy was the grandmother to 16 wonderful children and 5 amazing Great-Grandchildren.
Kathy was always full of life and a loving mother that was always around to help the kids and grandkids. She was a dedicated member of the MQP church community. She would assist in running the annual rummage sale and was responsible for the church laundry for over 40 years. Her faith was a true testament to who she was, always at the early masses and occasionally having the priest over for a Sunday meal. She will always be remembered by all who came by the house and was greeted with love. Kathy had a heart of gold and incredible character known for her outgoing spirit and her love for her kids and grandkids. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends and will remain forever in their hearts. Her presence brought a smile to the room and comfort to all that had the pleasure to know “Kath”
