Born in Northeast Philadelphia to James and Shirley Lorman on June 20, 1960, Kathy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, nurse and friend.
Kathy’s family was her entire life. She was devoted to Joseph, her husband, since their first date on December 7, 1977. In her own words “Our first kiss was after a Christmas party. I fell in love. I have loved him with my entire being since then.” Her children were her pride and joy – she made sure they knew and felt it every single day – and she will be deeply missed. Kathleen's legacy of love, compassion, and strength will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Kathy was predeceased by her parents, James and Shirley, her beloved Aunt Carol and Uncle Robert Gurling. She is survived by her husband Joseph, and their three children: Joey and his wife Jenny; Danny and his wife, Jenn; and Katie. She leaves behind her grandchild, Violet. She is also survived by her brothers, James Lorman, and Robert Lorman and his wife, Jill Jackson; her brother-in-law, David and his wife, Marie Mease; and her best friend and cousin Mary Rowen.
