While attending Emory she met James Leonard Farrow, a ministerial student and was married to him for 61 years.
Together they served churches throughout the Alabama West Florida United Methodist conference. Kathleen retired from nursing in 1988. She will be remembered for her faithfulness to serve with her husband in ministry, the joy she experienced from her grandchildren, her love of flowers, her kindness, her work ethic and her amazing cooking.
