She then moved to Jefferson City, Mo., and lived with her grandparents (Floyd and Eva Black, both deceased). At six years old she moved to Cedar Rapids with her mother Nadine Hart and Golden Hart(deceased).

She was at the hospital for 27 years in the environmental services area. Kathy had many friends at the hospital and around town. Kathy is survived by her husband of 50 years, Donald Kilts Sr.; and three children, Carrie Fortney (Jessie) of Hiawatha, Donald Kilts Jr. of Marion and Melissa Kilts-Erdahl (Nathan) of LaPorte City.
