While he expressed that he has the support of his family and friends, he didn’t mention his wife by name. Nonetheless, she’s probably by her husband’s side as he fights the disease, while also staying low-key, as she tends to. Our Kathryn Adams Limbaugh wiki turns the spotlight onto this political commentator’s wife.

Kathryn Limbaugh’s Father Was in the Navy

Born Kathryn Rogers on December 18, 1976, she’s one of four children born to Penny and Richard Rogers. She was born in Massachusetts and was raised overseas wherever her parents’ jobs took them.

Richard Douglas Rogers from Ohio graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy alongside the late Senator John McCain. He was once assigned to oversee a submarine squad at Pearl Harbor. He later left the Navy and joined a company that often sent him on overseas business trips.

His wife Penny worked for the State Department as a diplomat and held several posts around the world. Penny’s husband and kids would join her on her overseas assignments, where Richard would serve as a financial adviser for the embassies there.

Because of her parents’ jetsetting lifestyle, Kathryn had lived in Brazil as a baby and learned Portuguese. She has reportedly lived and worked in over 40 countries in her lifetime. She even assisted military doctors on MEDEVAC missions in West Africa when she was only 15 and survived two bouts of near-fatal cerebral malaria.

Her parents made Honolulu, Hawaii their home base when not on their global assignments. Her father passed away there in 2017, at the age of 81, of pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his children, including Kathryn, her brothers Richard Jr. and Jonathan, and sister Wendy Hazel.

In case you have no idea how distinguished Kathryn’s family is, she’s a direct descendant of the early U.S. presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
