Kathryn's brother Gerald at 10 years old recalls a limo picking up his mother at their farm house in Dunlap, Iowa a couple of days before Kathryn was born and taking her to the University of Iowa for Katheryn's birth. The hospital in Dunlap would not take poor patients and the state would pick up these poor mothers and deliver their babies at the University of Iowa.
Kathryn was the Valedictorian of her high school class.
Kathryn Sullivan was in a parking lot in Maryland replacing her car window with cardboard when her future husband saw her, offered to help and became interested in her. He returned to Milwaukee, Wisconsin shortly thereafter where he owned coin-operated laundry mats. He sold these and returned to Maryland. He was an engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and went to the South Pacific for a couple of weeks to track John Glen's flight.
His family was Quaker from Pennsylvania and he converted to Catholicism before marriage either before he met Kathryn or because of her. He had a brother living in Pennsylvania and a brother living in Maryland but no sisters.
Died January 15th or 16, 1984.
Kathryn's brother Jerry Sullivan said that when Kathryn entered a room it just lighted up, her exuberance and happiness just filling the room. "Our lives would certainly be different if she were still around. She was an unusual girl."
In June 1963 Kathryn graduated from St. Joseph's High School in Dunlap, Iowa as valedictorian, then she graduated from Mary Crest College, Davenport, Iowa in 1962 and started graduate school at the University of Colorado, leaving after a semester to continue her graduate work in Mexico while living with a Mexican family to learn the language. She graduated from the University of Maryland with a masters in English after teaching English at the University for a year. Kathryn's great nephew, Gerald Nicholas Andrews, would enter an honors aerospace engineering program there 50 years later after having also been accepted into the same programs at Purdue and Georgia Tech. Kathryn's great niece Elizabeth Mary Andrews was admitted to the nursing program at the University of Maryland after having applied to the College Park campus and being advised that she had enough credits to skip the first two years at College Park and enter the last two years of Nursing in Baltimore,)
Kathryn met her future husband during her studies at the University of Maryland.
According to her sister Maureen, Kathryn taught high school in Davenport, Iowa for a couple years, where she had graduated from College, before moving to Golden, Colorado, where she taught for a year or so before ultimately entering enrolling in a masters program at the University of Maryland. Niece Susan thought Kathryn had always taught high school.
On October 23, 2005, when Kathryn's brother Gerald attended his granddaughter Beth Andrews' First Communion at St. Mary's in Annapolis, he recognized the woman on the alter and told her after Mass that he recognized her from his sister's funeral. She said that she was a good friend of Kathryn's and not a day goes by that she doesn't remember and pray for Kathryn and Bob.
Kathryn was the tallest of the 3 sisters at about 5'10" and was very pretty and funny according to her brother Jerry. She met her husband in a parking lot as she was trying to fix her car window and he stopped to help. They lived in the Cape St. Claire section of Annapolis, MD at ____________ Mt. Pleasant Street and were murdered by their adopted son Larry.
Susan Sullivan recalls that there was snow on the ground at the time of the burial and that after the funeral mass at St. Mary's Church in Annapolis, the hearse left the church so fast that it was difficult for Susan's father Gerald to keep up with it. No one was given directions to the grave yard and, as a result, Bob Swartz's brother did not arrive at the grave site until after the burial. During the funeral mass at St. Mary's, a lady on the alter fainted and fell into the priest.
A year after burial Kathryn's brother, Gerald Sullivan, became aware that the grave had no tombstone, so he ordered one and had it placed on the grave.
Kathryn and Bob were married at a Catholic Church in Bowie, Maryland according to Kathryn's sister Maureen. It was hard for her mother to make this trip a year or so before her death, but she did. Kathryn was in a parking lot replacing her car window with cardboard and her future husband saw her and was interested and helped her with it. It was air conditioning season and her brother Jerry's boss would not let him leave to attend his sister's wedding.
