Kathleen and LuVerne Eddy were married October 16, 1937 at the Little Brown
Church in a
double wedding with her sister Norma and Ray Freel in Nashua, Iowa.
They lived in Chatfield, Saratoga, and Eyota where LuVerne was a Creamery
Manager from 1933 - 1977. LuVerne and Kathleen lived in Eyota 46 years before
moving to Rochester in 1996.
Kathleen worked at Luedtke's Variety Store in Chatfield. After moving to Eyota and
her children were out of high school, she worked for Dayton's Department Store
downtown and at Apache Mall. At the store she worked as a Sales Consultant in
the Jewelry Department until she retired. She was a member of the Dayton's
Retirees organization and held an office. Kathleen had a strong Christian faith and
devoted her life to her faith and family. She was an active member at Faith United
Methodist Church in Eyota where she taught Sunday school and enjoyed reading
the Bible. She had also been a member of the Women’s Society of Christian
Service. She held the office of Worthy Matron and other offices in the Order of
Eastern Star Lodge in Eyota and St. Charles. She was past President of PTA in
Eyota and enjoyed attending school functions.
Kathleen enjoyed sightseeing in their camper across the United States and
traveling overseas to Europe and Hawaii. She loved reading, playing board games,
cooking, entertaining, knitting, crocheting, and sewing. Kathleen was blessed with
numerous talents. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great
grandmother. She especially enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.
We will miss her quick wit and loving spirit.
