Kathleen passed quietly into the loving arms of Jesus at 9:26 PM on December 25th, her battle with liver disease and arthritis over, her pain and suffering mercifully at an end. This sweet, gentle woman faced her illness with the courage and candor that endeared her to so many people. Her smile, laugh, generosity, joie de vivre and genuine positive attitude will be missed by all who loved her.
But let us not mourn her passing, rather let us celebrate the time spent together, and bless her spirit which is now reunited with her mom, Dorothy, dad, Sergei, sister, Loretta, and brother-in-law, Steve… “Until we meet again”.
Kathy is survived by her son, Thomas, her husband, Rocco; nephews, Maj. Jeff Blake (Victoria), Brian Blake (Laura), and Henry Mletzko (Megan); niece/godchild, Christine Melander (Russ); niece, Michelle (Byron); six great-nephews, and 2 great-nieces.
Visitation will be from 5-7 PM with a wake service at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, January 3, 2017 at Haisley Funeral Home, 3015 Okeechobee Road, Fort Pierce. A funeral mass will be held on Wednesday, January 4, 2017 at 10:00 AM at St. Mark the Evangelist Church at 1924 Zephyr Avenue, Fort Pierce.
