It is with great sadness that we share the death of church and staff member Kathleen Kropp. She passed away in Cedar Rapids on July 29 at age 38. We praise God for her presence in this life and for the gift of everlasting life she has now received.

You are invited to St. Paul's for a gathering that will include music, reflections, and readings on Saturday, September 6, at 4:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the Limon Education Foundation Music Department or to NAMI Iowa.

Kathleen Susan Kropp was born on March 14, 1987, in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Music was at the center of her life, and she played piano and guitar during Worship Café, St. Paul's 11:15 a.m. contemporary service. Kathleen loved both reading and writing. She also will be remembered fondly for her crafting hobbies and thoughtful gifting.

Kathleen has a six-year-old son, Max, who is also a member of St. Paul's. Kathleen will be fondly remembered for her creative talents, kindness and grace toward all individuals, and her love and devotion to her son.
