Kathleen was educated at Allen's Business School. As a business entrepreneur, she was well-known for her food catering and pastries and was an excellent seamstress. She gave her life to the Lord as a young woman and became a member at Bethel Pentecostal Church in Arima, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

She was also a good hostess, who cooked and loved to party. With her contagious laughs and joyousness, she had a good time with her friends and family. She was very comical and exhibited a loving and charismatic persona; it was the most outstanding characteristic about her.
