She was born on August 27, 1934, in Sheffield, Alabama, to the late Arthur and Etta (Brackin) Crowder. She was united in marriage to William Edward Coley on April 16, 1955.

Kathryn worked in automobile plants with her husband in Illinois during the 1950s before becoming a devoted homemaker. She was especially close to her sisters in her younger years and treasured family throughout her life. She adored her sons-they were the light of her life.
