at Nye Legacy, Fremont
Kathy was born July 2, 1946 in Julesburg, Colorado to George and Mary E Beam. She married Lee Moll of Hooper, NE and moved to Fremont to start her own business as a franchise of H & R Block income tax in 1971. She created her tax business at a time when few women were business owners. Kathy was dedicated to her employees and clients, many whom became close friends. Kathy was known to always be fair and honest. She believed in hard work and was known to be at work earlier than anyone and would close the door late.
Kathy loved music of all kinds and was a pianist. She was fun loving and enjoyed her Irish heritage, playing pranks and every opportunity to heartily laugh. Kathy loved her family. She enjoyed helping others, often anonymously. She served on the board and as a working team for ''Children of Peace International,'' an organization that provides health care, shelter, food, safety and education for Vietnamese orphans in dire need.
Kathy loved new experiences and traveling the world. She often shared this love of travel with her family, including trips to Spain, Scotland and Turkey. Her purple convertible exemplified her spontaneous, fun loving spirit and her ''go for it'' attitude.

Hansen, NE Saturday, May 8, 2021 Kathy was an amazing woman: wicked smart, unfailingly kind and generous and always full of fun and planning to have more. Things were often tough for her, but she kept going strong, loving everyone and every minute. It’s good to think of her strong and healthy again, and with those she loved.Linda Criswell

FREMONT, NE Monday, June 1, 2020 Saddened to hear of Kathy's passing from this life to eternal life but I have many great memories of Kathy as a friend, as an employer and as a fellow business owner. Kathy was always fair and honest with her fellow workers and with her clients. Working alongside Kathy was a great joy in my life. When she took ill and no longer able to work I missed her joyful and smiling face on a daily basis. Yet when visiting her she still shared that smile and cheerful positive attitude even though physically she struggled. Kathy will always be remembered in my memory book. One of the things I so enjoyed with her was our sharing a word for the day. We shared that up until the time she could no longer manipulate her phone. One word I always remember was PONDER, I sense she is still pondering that word. Sympathies and love go out to her family.Dale & Sheryl Moll
