About Us

Kathy was 98 years old. Condolences may be sent to the Family of Kathryn Rapoport; 607 Lake Estates Drive; Lakeway, TX  78734.  She truly loved belonging to Suburban and continuing her membership in Rotary, in a much smaller club, after retiring in Texas.  Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.
