Kathy grew up in Havertown, PA where she attended Mater Misericordiae Academy, Merion, PA and went on to graduate from Drexel University in 1962 with a Associates Degree in Secretarial Studies.
Married in 1966, Kathy and John moved many times during their married life with John’s busy career in the steel industry and finally settled in Tuscaloosa. Active members of North River Yacht Club and an avid golfer, Kathy enjoyed participating in the Women’s Golf Association for many years.
Kathy’s three grandchildren were a source of great joy to her. “Oma” (and “Nonno”) never missed a birthday or other special event such as ballet recitals, First Holy Communions and sporting events. She was extremely proud of their academic and athletic achievements. She loved spending time with them in Florida and made many beautiful memories with family trips to Italy, Perdido Key, Sea Island and the Jersey Shore.Kathy’s role as “mother and wife” was her most treasured one and her constant love, support and care will be very deeply missed by her family.
