Kathleen Rodriguez Obituary
Kathleen was the daughter of Robert J, and Anna Michael Buehler, and was born in Bronx New York on November 24th 1946, and lived there with her parents, and brother Robert M. Buehler (also deceased). She graduated in 1964 from St.Agnes Academic High School for girls in College Point, Queens NY.
Later she lived and worked in Manhattan for most of her life, where she was employed as a medical office manager, and respected medical ancillary assistant for several well known cosmetic surgeons before opening her own Ancillary Medical practice KMR.
Kathleen was well known for her adventurist spirit, love of travel, books, and history.
In 2012 she retired to Georgetown South Carolina, where she enjoyed good weather, and the camaraderie of an active community lifestyle. She was often found volunteering for the Georgetown Historical Society at their museum as a docent guide, or at the Georgetown Library, where she donated many books.

McDonald, Manchester NH, two cousins Susan, and husband Doug Schmersal, Pawley's Island, SC, and Barbara Roca, Scarsdale, New York, a Sister In-Law Christine Fee Buehler, Woburn, MA, and Many Dear Friends.
Her legacy will live on in the hearts, and minds of all those who knew, and loved her
A Springtime Memorial Service will be planned in New Hampshire, where she will be laid to rest near her parents.

My name is Kristen Berge. I am the daughter of Rosemarie Foley, who when Kathy met her when they were 28, was Rosemarie Lado. She was my mother´s best friend since she was 18. I always lovingly referred to her as Aunt Kathy. Staying at her apartment in the city with her cat Freddy when I was younger are some of the memories I will never forget! Staying at her mother´s cabins in NH, and being on the beach by the lake driving around to find pie from the pieman and cooking breakfast on the weekends with her brother and his wife. I had been reaching out to her via email, but had not heard back. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person, she made me laugh a lot when I was younger. She meant a lot to me growing up and I know she meant the world to my mother. I´m sorry this is so late. I just found it.

Kathy first invited me to Belle Isle Book Club years ago and we´ve attended together until her recent passing. Kathy was so clever; I´ve had some of the best conversations in my life with these special women. Kathy will be greatly missed. I send my love and prayers to her family.

Kathy was a kind and friendly person with intelligence and a quick wit. She volunteered and generously gave of her time until she was no longer able. I will remember her respect and fondness.
