Kathleen Burkholder

Kathleen Burkholder (80) of Lima, OH left us peacefully on June 26, 2024 here in Columbus, OH. She leaves behind two sons, Barry James Burkholder and Harley David Burkholder and her daughter Jean Ann Green (Burkholder). She also leaves behind two loved Granddaughters Elizabeth Catherine Green, Aidan Marie Burkholder and a grandson Alaric Burkholder. 

Kathleen came from an Irish family of railroaders. Her father Jimmy Frawley (Betty Frawley) who predeceased her in Death started out on the Nickleplate road in Indiana which is where they are from which became the Norfolk and Southern then Western. Kathleen was a daddies girl and came to love the railroad by picking up her father everyday after work as he didn't drive. She eventually became a part of this family of railroaders as well as her two brothers Patrick Frawley and Michael Frawley who all worked on the B & O railroad. 

It was Kathy's wish to have her ashes spread on her beloved Kenneth Graham's farm in OK who was also a railroader and predeceased her in death as well. There will be a wake for friends and family held at her daughters house on Saturday. She was and is loved and greatly missed. We wish her well and can't wait to see her again.
