Kathleen was born on March 4, 1943 in Cedar Rapids, the daughter of Francis and Evelyn (Boddicker) Stallman. She graduated from Van Horne High School. On June 1, 1965 was united in marriage to Gary Bossler in Van Horne. The couple farmed near Van Horne and Kathleen worked as a secretary and bookkeeper at Farm Service in Van Horne for many years. She also worked as an assistant to Joe Conlin with Iowa Realty prior to moving to Missouri to be near her son Troy and his family.

Kathleen dearly loved her family and was happiest when she was feeding them all, babysitting, or helping them in some other way. Although she only had one son, Troy, her nephews, niece, and all the next generation were hers to dote on and care for. Nobody staged an Easter Egg hunt better than Kathleen! When she was able, she even cared for fellow residents when she lived at Sunnymere Retirement Community in Aurora IL and at Garden View Care Center in O'Fallon MO. She was never one to sit still for long.

She is survived by her son Troy (Meredith) Bossler of Foristell, MO; three grandchildren, Ashley, Hannah, and Garrett Bossler; her brother Don (Mary) Stallman of Cedar Rapids; and her sister Sharon (Stan) Wacha of Cedar Rapids.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Gary in 2007; and her sister Joan Schrader in 1980.
