Kathleen "Kathy" Meyer, 66, resident of Green Bay, passed away peacefully on June 3, 2018, surrounded by her family following a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on May 17, 1952, daughter to the late Gordon and Marion (Bauer) Ruddy in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Kathy was a very patriotic woman. At a young age, she served as a US Army wife traveling to many different countries and stateside assignments during the family's 20-year military career. One of those assignments was in the Wausau, Wisconsin, area where the family ended up staying for many years. She embraced her life as an Army wife and became very active supporting her children's interests in scouting, athletics and academics. Some of Kathy's favorite moments were spending time with her family and friends. She especially loved time with her four beautiful granddaughters and caring for her dogs. Anyone who knew Kathy knew how much she enjoyed being a mother and grandmother. Kathy is survived by her husband, John; mother, Marion (Bauer) Ruddy; two children, Stacie (Patrick) Rosera, Ryan (Julie) Meyer; granddaughters, McKenna and Olivia Rosera, Lilly and Katie Meyer, as well as many other family and friends. Kathy was preceded in death by her father, Gordon Ruddy, and sister, Karen Ruddy.
