Kate met the love of her life, Bill, in Tacoma, WA and was soon married, then settled in Central NY after Bill was honorably discharged from the Navy.
Kate and Bill started their family of two children and created a home in Central Square. Kate was employed by various local businesses, the most recent as a waitress at 916 Riverside formerly Castaways. She enjoyed many disciplines in needlecraft, researching Steding and Harrington family ancestry and still enjoyed the love of reading.
