Kathy was a long time member of St. Patrick’s –St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, a member of the Alter Society, and loved hosting the birthday lunches once a month at Church. She enjoyed spending time with family, and looked forward to the weekly visits from her nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great-great nieces and nephews.

She was often found riding her golf cart around the neighborhood. Some of her many hobbies included playing Bingo weekly, an occasional visit to the casino, taking painting classes at Four Pointes Senior Center, and attending Brown Bag lunches with her former classmates. She also enjoyed going out to dinner at Culver’s.

Kathy’s wish before God took her home was to have a Celebration of Life Party with her family and friends. She was so happy to see everyone at the party on April 8, 2018 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, which included music and karaoke. Kathy will be lovingly missed by her sister, Sophie (Bruno) Olechnowicz; nieces and nephews, Janice (Greg) VandenBrink, Kathleen (James) McManus, Marcia Werschem and Mike Guzman, Bruno (Lindy) Olechnowicz Jr., Mike (Julie) Olechnowicz; and several great and great-great nieces and nephews.
