Daughter of Dolores and Kirby Baird. Sister of Thomas Baird.
Kathleen's struggle for life ended almost one month to the hour after she was injured in a car accident. Her injuries stemmed from an accident when her date's car was forced into a bridge abutment by another driver.
The pair was taken immediately to the hospital, but Miss Baird never regained consciousness. She died from complications from head injuries.
Miss Baird lived with her family in Florissant. Her mother, Dolores, described her as very active and talented in the arts. "She loved to play the piano and dance, and she was a very good horsewoman," she said.
While in a coma, her brother accepted her high school diploma for her during graduation ceremonies at St. Mary's Academy in O'Fallon, MO. When her name was called during the graduation ceremony, he rose from his seat in the audience and went to the stage to accept the diploma.
