Life story

"Born in 1947 in Brooklyn, N.Y., Kathy was raised by loving foster parents in Brownsville, TX from 1959 to 1966, before returning to her native N.Y. to join her Trzaska siblings.

Kathy was an avid sports fan who excelled in track and field and flag football in her high school years. She loved her N.Y Giants, never missing a game, and remained loyal to them throughout her life.

After her children were grown and with families of their own, Kathy went back to college at the age of 45 to attain her RN degree so she could care for others.

Kathy is survived by her devoted daughter, Tina Gilmore, her son-in-law, Teddy Gilmore, her son, Alfred Brown and five grandchildren, Jonathan, Bella, Preston, Luke and Andrew and one great-grandchild, Caleb; all of who brought her great joy in her later years. She was a loving mother and grandmother and was devoted to her family.

She is also survived by three brothers, Frank, Bill and Joseph and three sisters, Joan, Jan and Lorraine, as well as sixteen nieces and nephews, all of who will deeply mourn her passing.

There will be a private ceremony for the immediate family only.
Donations in Kathy’s name can be made through the ASPCA. "
