Kathleen was born and grew up in Accrington, the daughter of the late Jack and Kathleen Finn, and sister to Gerald, Tony, Pauline, Bill, twin Jacqueline and John. She will be very sadly missed by all her family and friends. Kathleen began her working life as a hairdresser at Maison Jacqueline in Warner Street, Accrington; after getting married she began her own successful hairdressing business. Her working life also included Rists Wires, the hairdressing department at Accrington & Rossendale College, Abbode Cafe, Accrington, and Peggy’s Cafe in the Market Hall. Kathleen touched the lives of many with her kind heart and generosity of spirit. She will always be remembered for her beautiful smile, and gentle, loving nature.
