She attended the University of Iowa. On July 18, 1970, she was united in marriage to her best friend, Robert Joseph Krell in Iowa City.

Spending time with family and helping others was her passion. If friends or family needed help, Kathy was right there to help them.

In her retirement she loved attending her grandchildren’s events such as marching band competitions, dance recitals, and many softball and soccer games, going to the casinos with Bob and playing the slot machines, or going out to eat with family.

Kathy is survived by her husband, Robert “Bob” of Iowa City; one daughter, Lori Krell-Boettcher (Drew) of Solon; two grandchildren, Tiffani Fulton (Trevon Talbot) of Iowa City and Khloe “Kaymeron” Nagel of Solon; one brother, Kenneth Baxa (Jan) of Cedar Rapids.

She was preceded in death by her parents and one sister, Margene Baxa.
