TAMAQUA, Pa. Kathleen Cantrell served in the Navy as a nurse in the 1960s. She was a mother, wife, and sister. She passed away from COVID-19 in November. Her portrait is now on display at the Tamaqua Community Arts Center along with dozens of others, all drawn by Kathleen s niece Andrea Perno from Auburn. For me, it was kind of a way to process it. A lot of people process grief in different ways, and I ve just always kind of channeled that into artwork or, you know, sometimes people just bottle it up, and that s kind of my way of getting through it, Perno said.
