Former resident is fondly remembered

To The Eagle:

Kathleen Hogan was our dear friend and one of the most patriotic citizens of this nation, along with her husband Jerry, her roller skate dancing partner for life.

Kathleen was a thinker and superb commentator; her ability to listen and then summarize the gist of conversations was unique to say the least.

Often times she would say, “Thank you,” when she heard you say something she had determined long before you said it. Her statements often rendered further debate obsolete.

Kathleen’s ability to inspire others contradicted her oft-repeated lament, “...but what can I do? I’m just one person.” Watching her say that in her wheelchair with that quizzical look on her face, asking that question made you realize that if someone like Kathleen wants for anything, you’ll do whatever it takes to help her see her dreams come true.

She’s living her dreams now, but no doubt inspiring angels to better thoughts.
