Kathy (my sister in law) was a part of the comedy team with her brothers and sister. It brought me a lot of joy throughout the years when they all played their parts.
She is a beautiful lady.I know she will be dearly missed. She had such a joyful spirit. I am so glad my family and I were able to get one last hug from her at the 2023 family reunion ❤️
I’ve known Aunt Kathy my entire life. She was always so full of life and happy. I remember her contagious, joyous laugh most of all. I will always remember drinking Shirley temples, listening to the jukebox and playing pool with my cousins at the house of imports while Kathy and her brothers and sisters would sing and dance. When I learned Kathy was practicing yoga of which I had never heard of, I admired her strength and peace. I now practice yoga and remember Aunt Kathy when I too am strong and at peace. Thank you, Aunt Kathy for your gift of happiness, peace and strength. I love you always and forever. May you rest in peace.
Kris, the last I remember seeing Kathy was at the Bob Hope USO show in 3-lakes. Her and Tom were there and I bumped into them while pulling guard duty for the Wisconsin Nat'l. Guard. It was one of the fun things we got to do and I'm sure it was fun for Tom & Kathy too. I also remember seeing you and your mother at Green Bay bus terminal- boy her Sunday chicken dinners were great! You may want to edit my writing,hope things get better & they will over time. Your friend- Rodney
I rented a room from Mrs Seehafer while going to school at the 2 yr technical school in Wausau..Kris and I stayed upstairs.During that time Kathy came in with the most beautiful sheep dog puppies,and put them upstairs in the kitchen.Kris and I played with them daily,until they were sold.Kathy and Tom were running a bar they had just purchased about a block away.It was fun staying at the Seehafer's. So sorry for your loss. Margaret Stockley-Boen
I’ve known and loved Kathy since she was a teenage friend of my sister, Mary Gesicki. I have wonderful memories of the time they visited me in Colorado. They were only 15 years old. Lively, curious, so intelligent, full of life and adventure. Kathy was kind-hearted, loving, generous. I will always remember her brilliant smile, her hugs, her tenderness, AND her amazing singing voice! She would belt out Aretha’s “Respect.” So many fun times as family.
My deepest sympathy to our family. May God’s love and peace sustain us.
I am so very saddened to hear of Kathy’s passing. I am so glad we got to spend one last reunion together. She was thrilled we held it in the new pavilion. She said her and Tom walked past it all the time and she couldn’t wait to finally get inside. Growing up, I always thought she was one of the most beautiful persons I knew. We will miss her very much. Deepest sympathies to your entire family.
