Monty was born November 23, 1929, in Joliet, IL to Leonard C. and Margaret L. (Heilman) Kallman. She married Ralph "Buck" G. Kohn on November 11, 1951, in Joliet, IL. He survives in Pontiac.

She was preceded in death by her parents and one son, Starr Kohn.

Monty was a graduate of Joliet Township High School and later graduated from St. Joseph Hospital School of Nursing in Joliet, IL.

Monty had been an eye surgical RN for Dr. Lennon and Dr. Morimoto in Joliet. After moving to Pontiac in 1974, Monty finished her career with Dr. Mannabat and Dr. Bello. She did this undeniably-all the while maintaining a meticulous household. She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Pontiac, St. Mary's Women's Guild, Dialectic Society of Pontiac, and the Pontiac Women's Club.

Monty was prepared and willing to go home to Heaven and be with the rest of her family.
