Kathleen was born in Petoskey Michigan on September 5, 1933, to the late Ralph and Norma (Griffin) Conklin. She married Robert (Bob) Price on May 29, 1954, at St. Francis Catholic Church in Petoskey. Bob passed away April 24, 2015, after 61 years of marriage.

Kathleen retired from Mary Rutan Hospital as the department head of Medical Records in 1995. She was an active member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church for 47 years. Kathleen was an avid birdwatcher, traveling near and far keeping annual journals of sighted birds. She also enjoyed traveling, shopping, working in her flower gardens, reading and cooking for her family and friends.

Kathleen’s greatest passion was quilting. She was truly an artist and she gifted numerous beautiful quilts for her beloved family’s weddings, births and other occasions. She made unique wall quilts for every holiday and lovingly passed on her sewing skills to her granddaughters. She was President of Logan County Peacemakers Quilt Club for many years as well as a member of West Central Ohio Quilt Guild. During her travels she stopped at every quilt store along her path and accumulated a very large fabric collection. Kathleen generously donated her fabric to the Quilt Club for their many service projects.

Kathleen’s family extends their gratitude to all the staff at Logan Acres Care Center who treated her with such dignity and love for the last three years. Kathleen was also blessed to have many friends that visited her faithfully. 

Fr. Shawn Landenwitch will celebrate Kathleen’s memorial Mass on Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 12:00 noon at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Bellefontaine. Entombment will follow services in Calvary Cemetery, Bellefontaine.
