She took ballet lessons and became a toe dancer on the stage in Chicago and all across Illinois and other states nearby. She was just 18 years old.
    Her best friend was Irene Norene, for whom her older daughter is named, and when she was 16 she met Irene's uncle, Ray, In Beemer, Nebraska. He waited for her to grow up and then married her when she was 20. She was a champion swimmer and diver. three years after marrying Ray, she began training for the 1932 Olympics, which were to be in Los Angeles. They had been married for three years and wanted children. To her diving couch's dismay and her delight, she became pregnant, which ended her Olympic career. Her elder daughter, Irene, was born in Galveston, Texas, while they were there on a business trip Irene's sister, Patsy, was born in Omaha three years later.
    When she was only 31, Ray had a stroke and lived in a rest home for the remaining ten years of his life. The stroke affected his memory -- he had permanent amnesia and would never remember that he had a family. Her daughters were seven and four years old. they had come to California two weeks prior to his stroke -- he had stayed in Omaha to tie up business loose ends and was driving out later. In those days, there was no welfare or Social Security. She stayed in California for a year and a half - and when she had enough money, went back to Omaha, but the doctors told her to live as if she were a widow, so she came bac out to California. Her mother and brother were out here and she had a good job waiting. She drove from Nebraska to California with only $100 in her pocket and all her worldly possessions in her car. (This included a trunk full of homemade jam that she wouldn't leave behind.)
    After her daughters were grown and married, she began going dancing and met her second husband, Bob. They married in 1955 and were one week short of their 25th anniversary when he died at the age of 85. They lived in Los Angeles and Camarillo. He was a wonderful man and gave her three terrific step-daughters - Joyce, Jean, and Beryl.
    Kathleen, Patsy (and her husband, Bert), and Irene went to Ireland in September of 1993. She visited the house in which her mother had been raised and saw the cemetery where two of her uncles are buried.
    She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December 2001 and given six weeks to six months to live. She fought back with chemo-therapy. She was a very plucky, feisty Irishwoman. She continued to live in Camarillo until she fell, dancing, on New Year's Eve, 2002 and broke her hip. She went to live with her daughter, Irene Rhyne, in Greeley Hill for 11 months. In 2003, she went to Utah and stayed with Pat and Bert and then went into a home over there, where she died April 2, 2005.
    She is survived by her five daughters; Irene Rhyne (and her husband Mark) of Greeley Hill; Patsy ( and her husband, Bert) Peters of Hurricane, Utah; Joyce Wayman; Jean Nicholson and Beryl Miller of Palm Springs area; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
    She was preceded in death by her two beloved husbands: Raymond charles Lebs and Robert Dorus Armstrong, and two grandsons (Irene's sons) Mark Allen, Age 5-1/2 months and Scott Timothy, age 23; and son-in-law Walter Wayman. She was dearly loved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed.
