The ancestor I most admire is my aunt Kathleen Connery. Kathleen was one of my mother’s older sisters
and I think was probably more of a mother than a big sister. Kathleen was born April 10, 1895 in Chicago,
IL. After finishing school she went to
work in her father’s Real Estate, Travel, and Insurance office. Kathleen never married and cared for her
parents until their deaths. Kathleen was
an avid traveler and often escorted her mother and sisters to Rome and Ireland
where Kathleen’s parents were born. Kathleen was very religious and belonged to
the third order of St Dominic. Selfless
and generous to a fault, Kathleen died in Florida on Aug 12, 1986.
The word count is 115 words and I didn't begin to fully describe Kathleen Frances Connery.
