Kathy was born on November 26, 1955, in Bay City, Michigan, and raised in Essexville, Michigan, along with her two sisters: Terry Lynch (LaForest) and Karen & Leonard Burzynski (LaForest).
Kathy later in life resided in Ohio, where she is survived by her three daughters: Juanita Kapica, Becky & Jason Garvin (Kapica), Melissa Gilles (Kapica), her 7 grandchildren: Chelsea Harvey, Tanner Harvey, Danielle Harvey, Connor Whipkey, Elizabeth Gilles, Jakxyn Gilles, and Starla Garvin, along with her 6 great grandchildren: Rylee Chaney, Lincoln Chaney, Tinsley Harvey, Cali Harvey, Hadlee Harvey and Saphira Workman.
Kathy is preceded in death by her parents Joseph E. LaForest and Katherine A. (nee Heinz) LaForest and her son Anthony John Joseph Kapica.
Kathy was a woman of strong Catholic faith and attended church at the University Parish Newman Center. She also enjoyed swimming, music, bubble gum and reading but nothing compared to time she spent with her family. Kathy was a smart, encouraging, selfless person with the brightest smile and most beautiful kind soul who will be missed dearly!
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Reverend Michael Marcelli on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the University Parish Newman Center, followed by a reception and celebration of life that all are welcome to join!
