Kathleen J. Maas, 81, of Melbourne passed on March 5, 2022. She was born in Faribault, Minnesota on May 7, 1940 to Ambrose and Esther Erie Madigan.
Her husband of 62 years Donald D. Maas shares that “Katy and I learned to trust and lean on each other in times of need. This never changed in our over 62 years of a wonderful marriage! These understandings of life were fully engrained in our children, a must for a loving family”. Our family includes our children David (Dina) Maas, Michael Maas, Constance (Kevin) Crocker, Daniel Maas and Donald Maas; sister Mary Jo (Paul Gerber) Madigan; sisters-in-law Marion Paquette Madigan and Barbara Madigan; eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Kathleen has always been her family’s caregiver with end of life care of her grandmother, mother and father. Known as “Bucket of Snap” she was a responsible, loving and caring person who loved to have parties with family and friends to enjoy life. Proud of her Irish heritage, she enjoyed celebrating St. Patty’s Day.
There will be a small, casual gathering in celebration of Katie’s life at the family home on Saturday the 26th of March from 1 to 3pm.
Her burial will be in Minnesota.
