Kathy married Phil Moeller on May 18, 1959 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Waite Park. Together they settled down on the farm in rural Foley, where they raised a beautiful family of 9 children. 
Kathy was a longtime member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Duelm, where she was always active. She was a member of Christian Mothers & St. Elizabeth’s Mission Circle. She also taught many years of Faith Formation classes. Kathy worked for Security Federal before driving school bus for the Foley School District for over 25 years. She was active with Benton County 4-H, as a leader of the Dandy-Do-Doers and helped run the Food Stand during the Fair. Kathy enjoyed BINGO, bowling, word/jigsaw puzzles and playing all types of games, even ones she would create. Two of her many talents were the ability to lovingly create quilts and writing poems for special people and occasions. She was known for her beautiful penmanship, which she shared by writing letters to her family & friends. The gift of creativity was evident when she launched The Blooming News newsletter while she lived at The Gardens Assisted Living.
