Kathleen was born in Neenah, WI to Carroll and Adeline (Fahrenkrug) Rogers.
Kathleen graduated from Neenah High School in 1943. She was part of an all-women's singing group called Chaminade Women's Chorus and took voice lessons at Lawrence University.
She met her future husband, Norman R. Tornow in 1948, after he returned from military service in World War II. They were married on October 8, 1949 in Menasha, WI.
She was preceded in death by Carroll Rogers (Father), Adeline (Fahrenkrug) Rogers (Mother), and Norman R. Tornow (Spouse).
Kathleen and Norman had four children, Kristine (Don) Rasmussen-Weston, WI, Gail (Roger) Duck-Abilene, TX, Thomas (AnnaMarie) Tornow-Wisconsin Rapids, WI and Theodore (Ruth) Tornow-Surprise, AZ.
And grandchildren…Joel (Collette) Duck, John Duck (Karine Trudel), Jason (Ali) Duck, Nathan (Hannah) Duck, Gregory (Amanda) Duck, Anders (Amy) Rasmussen, Kara (George) Willett, Marta (Joshua) Thunder, Zachary (Jessica) Tornow, Krista (Kevin) Lien, Brett Tornow, Lucas Tornow and Steven Pennent. And added to these wonderful grandchildren are her great grands, 23 at this point. She loved them all very much and made sure that each of them received birthday cards and as much love as she could put in one of those cards. Not to mention her prayers for every one of them.
Her nieces and nephews were also well loved and prayed for.
Her walk with the Lord was one of reading Our Daily Bread and her Bible. We all rejoice that she is with her Lord and Savior and in His presence.
