I’m truly sorry to see this. I remember Kathy from years ago when I worked in Saint Clairsville at the courthouse, and we went out socially a few times. RIP.

Dear Scot and Family,
We were very sad to learn of your mother’s passing. We will miss talking with her at our reunions where she often spoke with fondness of you all . We are sorry that we were unable to personally express our sympathies to you at the time of services for her. We pray for her Eternal Rest and for strength to you as you grieve.
Sincere sympathy,
Classmates Anita & Joe Lestini
So sorry for the loss of a grade school friend. Many happy times together at her house.
Memories of having sleep overs at Kathleens house when we were in grade school at West Bellaire Grade School.
Prayers to all of Kathleen’s family. She was a sweet lady. GOD bless you all.
Lola and I were sadden to hear about Kathleen passing. She was a classy, bright young lady during our high schools days and never lost that smile and willingness to help others. She will be missed.
Kathy worked next door to me at Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel in the late 80’s. She was a wonderful, kind person. Always dressed impeccably. She and I took mini-trips with my son, Karl, to some of the local lakes when he was 2-3 yrs old. We had such fun together. Beautiful lady.
Scot and family, I am so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. We have been friends for 60+ years and graduated Bellaire High School in 1960 together. I loved her dearly and will miss her so much. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
