She married Anthony E. Hemmer at Sacred Heart Church in 1969.

Kathy was employed at Frommelt Industries as a seamstress for 15 years until her retirement.

In her spare time, Kathy loved to get in the car and go for a ride. She enjoyed the outdoors, especially walking down by the river with her friend, Rick, conversations with her friend, Katie Sawvel, every night and spending time with her grandchildren. Her true passion was her daughter, Jennifer. She was very involved with the 50+ group at Faith Temple United Pentecostal Church. In her younger years she liked to go fishing. Kathy was a very talented seamstress and even made clothing without using a pattern.

Surviving are a daughter, Jennifer (Kevin) Wernimont, of Dubuque; three grandchildren, Jalee, Cody and Alea; three step-grandchildren, Mackenzie, Mitchell and Myles; very special friend, Rick Perry, of Dubuque; two sisters, Judy Hall, of Dubuque, and Patricia J. Strang, of Galena, Ill.; two brothers, Judd Mullady, of Haines, Alaska, and Shannon Mullady, of Hebron, Maine; her former husband, Anthony E. Hemmer, of Dubuque; many nieces and nephews; and her many friends at St. Mary's Apartments.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and a brother-in-law, James Hall.
