Kathryn was born and grew up Tabusintac, NB., second daughter of Duncan and Annie (Murray) McIntosh on a country dirt road, attended a one room school house and did homework beside a kerosene lamp, dreaming and determined to be a teacher and live under city lights. By 1935 she graduated from Normal School in Fredericton, teaching in Tabusintac, Emmerson, Smiths Corner and Bryant's Corner; and by 1944 living under the city lights of Moncton. Her two favourite inventions were the telephone and a shopping center, she never tired of either. She just loved life and lived it every day. She wanted her love expressed to everyone she knew that made her life so fulfilling, family, friends and the students she taught at Uplands, Victoria and Bessborough schools in Moncton. She said she has remembered every one of them throughout her life. She travelled, was a member with her husband Earl at Moncton Antique Car Club.
