Kathleen is survived by her children Kathi Page (Stephen) of Dallas, Shannan Carnes (John) of Wichita, Shawn (Cathy) of Wichita and Brian of Boulder, and her beloved grandchildren Collin Devlin, Connor Devlin, Patrick Devlin, and Laine Devlin. Kathleen was actively involved with Junior League of Wichita, Botanica, and The Wichita Art Museum, among many other volunteer organizations. For 80 years Kathleen was the happiest during the summers in the high mountains of Spar City, Co. She loved world travel, was an ace tennis player, a reputed bridge ninja, and was always adding to her extensive gardens. She always enjoyed entertaining her friends, and was a consummate hostess. Most of all she loved her husband, children, and grandchildren, for whom she would go to all ends of the earth to spoil. We cannot thank enough the caregivers Yolanda Roberts, Shelly Kirksey, Eylene Gaudrea, Christy Lane, Liberty Robinson, Ambre Dolan and Franci Fairchild. And thank you to all those at Serenity Hospice for their special care.

Kathleen was one of the most beautiful people inside and out that I ever knew. I had the pleasure of double dating with Kathleen and Jim. They were so much fun. Even a little risky at times but lots of fun and it was very obvious that they were deeply in love.
I great couple indeed.
