A loving mother with a generous heart, Kathleen always put others before herself. A devout catholic, Kathleen religiously attended mass at her church. Her favorite getaway was the beach, and she also enjoyed camping and was the eternal optimist right until the end. An avid music fan with a great sense of humor, Kathleen loved pets, adventure, and had a strong intuition and foresight in any situation. A very talented woman who was meticulous in everything she did. Kathleen had a knack for decorating, crafts, and was a very good cook. Taken suddenly, she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Surviving are her daughters, Kathleen and Joann Vancosky; and several nieces and nephews.
