Kathleen was born on March 8, 1945, in Cortlandt Manor to the late Edwin J. and Elizabeth B. Taylor and lived in Shrub Oak, New York. As a young woman, Kathleen was a member of the New York City Ballet and notably danced as the Black Swan in Swan Lake.

On June 11, 1966, she married the love of her life, William Malone, Jr. She would have been married to her husband, Bill, for 59 years this year. Kathleen has often been thought of as Wonder Woman as she did it all. She lived for her family and truly loved each and every one of them so deeply. Kathleen is known for being the life of the party with her contagious laugh, sense of humor and always up for an adventure. Her sharp and witty humor has created lifetime memories for her loved ones that will be cherished forever. She loved dolphins, the beach, and the moon. Kathleen and Bill owned a home in Lake Worth, Florida for over 20 years where they hosted some of the best times for their families. Known as Nan or Nanny to her grandchildren/greatgrandchildren, Kathleen shared a special bond with each of them.
