Katherine was a ray of sunshine who generously shared her love with others throughout her life.

Once retired from working in the insurance industry, Katherine enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren, playing cards and surrounding herself with family and friends.  She loved to tell stories and her laughter was infectious. Katherine will be greatly missed but remembered forever by those whose lives she touched.

In addition to her husband Charles, Katherine is survived by her loving and devoted daughters: Cynthia Wolkiewicz (Raymond) and Deborah Della Pia (John Iannarelli). She is also survived by her three dear granddaughters Rachel Dailey (Pete), Shannon Wolkiewicz & Deanna Della Pia, and great-granddaughter Eliza.
