It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Kathleen (Kathy) Ann Morrissey. Kathy was born September 22, 1957 in Pittsburgh, PA, but in early childhood moved to Ohio and became a resident of Dayton which she called home for the remainder of her life. Kathy graduated from Trotwood Madison in 1975.
Kathy passed away unexpectedly July 5, 2024 at Centerville Place Assisted Living where she resided. Kathy is survived by and was a cherished mother to her one and only child, Brandi Milliner(Morrissey), devoted grandmother("Nanny")to Jayden Morrissey, Chayce Morrissey and Meleeyah Milliner. Kathy was the eldest sibling of four and is also survived by her beloved baby sister Patti(Walter)Mitchell. She leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews that she cherished individually. She had a special bond with her nephew David Morrissey Jr. and his husband Phillip Morrissey.
Kathy is preceded in death by her mother, Janis Morrissey and father, James Morrissey Sr., brothers; James Morrissey Jr. and David Morrissey Sr.
Kathy was always the life of the party and lit up every room she entered. She will be greatly missed.

Her house on Ashley street is the oldest memory of Aunt Kathy. Some of the fondest moments of my childhood were in that house. I have way more than one favorite memory about my favorite Aunt, she shaped my life about as much as anybody. My favorite memory has to be eating ramen noodles and drinking coca cola classic at her house. I remember Brandy's CD player, I remember playing Nintendo there. I remember taking baths there. I always remember uncle Kevin. I remember the piranha tank. Aunt Kathy had beads on her bedroom door. I always thought she was rich, because I never had ramen noodles before and I loved them so much I thought they were fancy. I can't hardly think of a time when she didn't make me smile, she always made me feel special, she loved me in a way that few people know how. I will always remember her being so happy to hear from me. I'll remember her always enjoying our time together, I'll always remember being in charge of her stereo for while. One of my favorite times together was when I showed her my favorite band on YouTube, she loved them, so I knew they were legit. I always think about my Aunt Kathy when I go for a drive in my Cadillac. When I was little, she had a Thunderbird, and that car is burned in my brain and is definitely one of the reasons I love big cars. My aunt Kathy taught me to enjoy the simple things in life, a good front porch, some music, and some people to spend time with. I love you Aunt Kathy, what I'll miss the most, is when I spent time with you, I could forget about my issues for a while. Just laugh, talk a little trash, maybe learn about some stuff I never thought I would hear about I know your life was hard, I hope you're resting easy, I love you, and I will see you again in the clouds. Love- Coca cola classic
