After marrying Mark Schwartz in 1991, they established a home in Carlisle, PA where she was a teacher, coach, community leader and devoted mom. All four of their children (Taylor, Grant, Reagan and Anna) were born there. The family moved to Westerville, OH in 2006. For the past several years, Kathleen was a physical education teacher as well as a basketball and volleyball coach at Polaris Christian Academy and an active member at Westerville Christian Church. In addition to her children, of whom she was so proud, her legacy will be the extraordinary impact she left on countless lives throughout her life as she selflessly sought to help, teach, guide and give back to others. Katleen is survived be her loving husband of 20 years, Mark; children Taylor, Grant, Reagan and Anna.
