Born Kathleen Marie Kenny in the village of Ballyheigue, Co. Kerry, Ireland. In 1954 Kathleen immigrated to Chicago where she began making a new life for herself in her adopted country. Not long after, she met the love of her life James McCormack. The two were married in 1956 and enjoyed a wonderful marriage of over 60 years. Kathleen worked hard, and was an amazing mother, all the while staying very involved in the Irish American Community in Chicago. Her pride in her Irish roots was lovingly passed along to her children and grandchildren. Her greatest joy was watching all of her grandchildren grow and compete in their many activities. She will be truly missed. Visitation will be on Monday, September 10, 2018 from 10:00-11:00 am at St. James Church, 9640 Kennedy Ave. Highland, IN.
