Kass was inducted into the National Honor Society the year she graduated from Shillington High School in 1941. It would be another 32 years before such an honor was again bestowed on the Mogel family. After high school, she obtained an Associate's degree in Secretarial Science in 1943 from Weylister Secretarial School in Milford, CT. Thereafter,

Kass employment as a secretary for George Balmer, Esq. at the law firm then known as Zieber & Snyder, and currently known as Mogel, Speidel, Bobb and Kershner. There she met a handsome young lad by the name of Carl Mogel. They were married in short order on May 4, 1946.

Kass and Carl had three stellar sons, Peter B., husband of Connie S. (Earvin) Mogel of Lower Alsace Township; David W., husband of Ellen E. (Warner) Mogel of Wyomissing and Frederick R., husband of Denise M. (Duddy) Mogel of Wyomissing.
