Kathryn C. Soucek (Cleveland, OH) Graduated from Kent State in 1964; married July 4, and taught high school English for 5 years; had 5 children including 3 adopted children (3 boys/2 girls) lived 10 years in Rockville, Maryland then moved to Lakewood.  She divorced and became a Secular Franciscan and nursed for 12 years in a nursing home plus 2 years in assisted living.
 

Gratefully all of these moments have led to a quieter and simpler way of being – a time to grow in grace, wisdom, awareness – now retired, a time to follow passions of gardening, volunteering and vigiling with the dying for Hospice of the Western Reserve (10 years) and living a more contemplative life.
