Kathy always had a smile in high school. A happy and friendly person. So wonderful to have a long and loving marriage and 2 children. I see she was a lover of pets. So special indeed.

Katherine was more than my sister-in-law. She was a confidant, a best friend, a real sister. We were the same age--excuse me, she was four days younger (as she never failed to remind me each August). She was the glue that held the family together and she made holidays and get-togethers fun. (And she remembered what she was wearing at every one of them.) She was incredibly talented at a variety of craft endeavors and I was the lucky recipient of some of her best work. I love all of the holiday decorations she made for me over the years and will only part with them by giving them to her kids and grandkids when I am too old and feeble to decorate for holidays. I will miss our phone calls, when we talked for an hour or more about everything under the sun. I have already picked up the phone to call her several times and can only imagine that I will do it hundreds more times in the coming months. I love you, Katherine, and will never stop missing you.

Katherine could light up a room just with her presence (and beautiful smile) - the same way she lit up our lives!! I was a privilege, honor, and pure joy to be her friend! We laughed and cried together countless times (mostly laughed!) and shared a special bond. Too many stories to tell…. I will hold Katherine and the priceless moments we shared together close to my heart forever. I love you Katherine, and know you are watching over all of us! Xoxox Kitty

Katherine and I became friends her first year at BOCES. We didn’t work in the same room again but got together often after work. Katherine was my go to person for everything! She was so smart and talented! Katherine could cook or bake anything! Also, Katherine could knit! She knit me a pair of slipper socks that I still have! After the birth of Maggie and Elle, Katherine was so happy! She would tell me how talented and smart they were! She was so proud of them! She would tell me, about what they liked as she was shopping for gifts and snacks for them. So thoughtful! She was so proud of Denise and Glen! I loved hearing her love story with Dennis! I miss Katherine so much! Rest in peace my friend! Love, Ronnie

Dear Katherine, You were one of my favorite teachers at BOCES. I will remember you forever. You helped me to be independent and we always worked well together. Thank you for always being my hero. Love, Erin

I’ve known Katherine for quite some time. I went to school with her son; Glen, so since elementary school I would see Katherine at school functions and what not. We crossed paths again at Boces and I am forever grateful for that. We worked in the same classroom for a few years. We worked very well together and we just clicked. After she retired we kept in touch often. I have two toddlers; a girl & a boy. Katherine loved when I sent her pictures of them. I would send her pictures as often as possible because I knew it would make her smile. When my daughter was born she made her a hippo stuffie. That is the image you see above. We will cherish this forever. Katherine was such a genuine and caring person. I am going to miss our chats so much. Love you and may you Rest In Peace. Love, Cathy Suraci

With our hearts full of sadness, we send our love and condolences to Dennis, their children, and grandchildren for their loss. Every time we were with Kathy, we were left with the impression of a vibrant, caring and loving person. The love that existed between Katherine and Dennis, our cousin and their entire family was always evident. We will pray for her and the family she leaves behind. May god bless them all. Donna and Larry Maggiotto

I hv always loved you for that and want to say THANK YOU for making ALL of us better just by being you. I will always be here for him so don’t worry just rest, Katherine, I miss you already. Love, Bob

Katherine and I worked together for many, many years. The first year we were together I remember being so impressed by her. We shared the same philosophy on how to prepare our students for life after school. She was funny, smart, quick, kind and held our students to a high standard, never believing they couldn't...always believing they should try. Katherine was not an easy egg to crack though. She needed to trust you before giving herself to you and I remember wanting that trust very much. Once we established that bond she became my barometer for many things. I still use so many of her phrases...my favorite being the word "smidge". Whenever I hear someone else say that (which just happened a couple of weeks ago!), besides me or Katherine, I get very indignant...Hey...that's Katherine's word! Another is "You are a full time job...focus on yourself!" (Always said with love and good humor!) I remember when she became a grandmother and watching her and thinking how I couldn't wait for that to happen to me...I wanted to be as amazing as she was. My granddaughter still has the elephant she made her when she was born. I keep a novena in my car that she gave to me when she knew I needed the Blessed Mother. I laminated it (because teachers laminate everything) and I pull it out whenever that need comes up and always remember how much thought she gave to what was happening in my life at that time and how it would help me. Life gets in the way and I hadn't spoken to her in a couple of months. I cannot forgive myself and will forever regret that...I hope Katherine, you know how much I love you and will never forget you and the impact you have had on my life. Rest in peace beautiful friend.

This image is how I remember Katherine: laughing, feisty, and fun! She made me laugh many times. This image is at Good Will where all 3 of us were looking for Connie's class. She wanted me to snap this picture to prove that she was where she was supposed to be! So funny. This was taken on 3/20/2017. I am saddened to hear of her passing. She was a great person and it was an honor to know her.

Katherine was one of the bravest women I have ever known. She fought with every fiber of her being to stay here with her loved ones. If you were fortunate to be one of those that she loved, you knew how fiercely she would stand up for you-traits that she has passed on to Denise, Maggie and Ellie. Her pride in her family was so clear-she was so proud of her engineer, Glen. To hear her talk, he was running the company. You did well Katherine!! I will miss you. Becky
