Kathleen was born April 17, 1930, in Manchester, England. Upon meeting and marrying the love of her life she settled in Louisville. In 1953 the family moved to Utica where she resided for more than 60 years.
She was employed with Glenmore Distilleries, Louisville, as Assistant Vice-President, and served the town of Utica as Clerk-Treasurer for several years.
The joys of her life were gardening, spending winters in Gulf Shores, Ala., with Bob, hosting family holiday events, and numerous swim parties for the grandchildren.
Her passion was Ball Room Dancing. She shares the story of learning to ball room dance while sequestered in the air raid shelter during the bombings of England. To pass the time the older children taught the younger children to dance. A passion for music and dance that never left.
She is survived by a son, Taylor Ridings and his wife, Sharon; daughter, Lynn R. Vaught; daughter-in-law, Donna Ridings; grandchildren, Corey Ridings and his wife, Amber, Brian Ridings, Jenna Vaught, Sara Vaught and Emily Vaught; great-granddaughter, Kyla Vaught-Shouse; sisters, Frances Birdwell, and Maureen Carl; and several nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Alice Gardiner; sister, Patsy Chapman; husband of 56 years, Robert "Bob" Ridings; and son, Phillip Ridings.
Visitation will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. Wednesday and after 10 a.m. Thursday, at the funeral home.
