Runs in the Family |
| Family
is very important to Kathleen. Her family is
close, but none as close as these girls. Ranging
within 4 years of age and with a set of twins
in the bunch, there are many happy memories
to pull from. How many mom's get to wake up
on a Saturday morning to her children's singing
and harmonizing in the background and then afterwards,
a backrub for a promise of renting a movie?
But then, how many families grow up without
TV?
First
and foremost in our lives is the exaltation
of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is number "one"
in everything, and everything we do we can give
Him the credit for. Our many gifts and accomplishments
are because of His grace and love for us.
The
eldest, Rebekah gave Kathleen her first grandbaby,
little Aurora Rose in April of 2006. Rebekah
and her husband, Robert live in Maricopa, AZ.
Rebekah will be graduating from ASU with a bachelors'
degree in psychology in the spring of 2008. |

Rachel
will soon have her transfer degree from a community
college and has been training for the graphic
arts field as well, but this time it also includes
animation and video graphics. She is looking
forward to her wedding in April of 2008. |

tour of duty will be up in September of 2008,

Juliana
is the youngest. Cherished and quite spoiled
by her sisters, this one also desires a career
in art, in cartooning and illustration. |
But before she begins her college career she
is living with her sister and brother-in-law
in England, till they come home in September.
Couldn't miss this opportunity.
While
at home, Rebekah, to the right, and her sisters
sang together, both worship music, disney and
musicals. They loved being involved in the productions
at the church and the drama department and choir
at the schools.
Kathleen
may have raised her family as small-town girls
in the mountains but as a family, can claim
all of Arizona. |
|
| With
parents in Phoenix, a sister in Flagstaff, a brother
in Kingman, and girls all over the place the family
plans special times to get together. In addition
to the holidays there has always been a family
reunion for about 5 days at a cabin owned by the
company from which Gene is now retired from. This
little cabin is dear to the hearts of everyone
and some really special memories have been built
there over the past 36 years. |

Both,
her mom and dad loved to travel and
camp. They took their family all over
the midwest states when the children
were growing up, camping in a tent,
and later a tent-trailer. Great memories
of hiking, watching the black bears
in the dumps, backpacking into rustic,
remote log cabins, running and playing
in creeks and forests, rowing a boat
across the lake to a spring for get
fresh water and gathering wood for a
wood-burning cookstove or campfires
built great memories of those years.
Aldean
was a wonderful homemaker, mother, counselor,
encourager, and stronghold during tough
times. She
sewed beautiful clothing for her family
and herself. She
painted the bedrooms and refinished
furniture- redecorated with new curtains
and bedspreads.
|
|
|
 |
She
made a real home for her family. She
even tried to be everywhere at once,
such as when she was trying to spend
time with her husband and teach Kathleen
to sew at the same time. She was always
busy serving her family. She took in
all the baby animals the kids brought
home and while trying to feed them gave
a gentle rebuke to the children to never
do it again. But you know how that goes.
Aldean
began the Arizona Association for Children
with Learning Disabilities to help her
own children, and was president for
several years. She was always involved
at her church and after the "empty
nest" she became very active in
the Steven's Ministry and the Bridge
ministry.

| Aldean
was also a dispatcher for the Central Arizona
Mountain Rescue Association and the Mountain
Rescue Posse. She
built a home business called Independent
Living Products, an online catalog of helpful
items to meet the needs of the elderly and disabled.
Gene
built and ran the website. This business was
eventually sold, and is now a much larger business
called Active
Forever.
They
used the money from the sale to purchase a large
motor home and together and spent three years
exploring Oregon and Washington State. There,
they hosted in campgrounds; Aldean worked in
the gift shops while Gene gave tours through
the lighthouses. These trips unfortunately came
to a halt with Aldean's death January 3, 2008.

Gene
still travels with the motor home and expects
to visit family members often. He will also
again be active with the Sherriff's posse. |
Kathleen's
sister, Sherry is a wildlife and wilderness
painter who specializes in oils, but
also does chalk and pen drawings She
is a professional cake decorator as
well. Her talents are varied, but her
love for her family and others is the
center of all she does and all she dreams
to do. She desires to open an assisted
living home for seniors in Flagstaff.
Her
brother, Steve does photographic art
through the telescope. He also
loves to travel and has had his share
of parachuting and mountain climbing.

In youger
years he worked with his dad with Mountain
Search and Rescue. Steve lives in Kingman
and works with the Chrysler corporation
as a mechanic and trainer, as well as
a test driver. It
is on these drives he often sees something
worth catching on film and is sure to
bring his camera along for the opportunity.
