     Kathleen M. Czech was born on December 17, 1949 at Victory Memorial Hospital in Stanley, WI, the daughter of John N. Czech, Sr. and Genevieve (Gaska) Czech.  She was raised in the Hannibal, WI area, and graduated from Gilman High School.  After completing her education, Kathy moved to Wausau, where she completed a course of instruction and received a technical degree as a Legal Clerk.  She spent her career working for the Judi Care System of Wisconsin in Wausau.  During her off-time, she was instrumental in setting up a daycare program for Head Start in Mosinee, WI.  The building was dedicated as the “Kathleen M.
