KATHLEEN FOWLER Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 1, 2016.
FOWLER
KATHLEEN DEVLIN
Died at her home at Shady Ave., Pittsburgh, on May 27, 2016. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Alan B. Fowler; her sons, Stephen of Seven Fields and Andrew of LaVarenne, France; her daughters, Susan Fowler-Finn of Medford, MA and Sarah of Northampton, MA and Cologne, Germany; and by ten grandchildren. She was preceded by six half-siblings. Besides her family, she leaves many loving friends in Newport, New York and the Pittsburgh area. Kay was born in Newport, RI on January 12, 1928, of Irish immigrant parents, John and Catherine Devlin. She attended RI State (now URI) and held degrees from Pace College and Western Connecticut. Most of her life was lived in Yorktown Hts., NY where her husband was employed by IBM. For many years she volunteered teaching ESL at local institutions. She was an active quilter both in NY and after moving to Pittsburgh in 2005. She was also a member of the walking group, The Ramblers where she met many friends. She may be remembered by many as the little white haired lady who witnessed for peace every Saturday for years at the corner of Braddock and Forbes. Arrangements McCABE BROS.

Dear Family of Kay,
As I remember Kay's witness for peace, today I seek her intercession for peace in Gaza, the West Bank, Sudan, Ukraine, Lebanon, on our borders, and in our hearts. May Kay know eternal peace. I am grateful for the seeds of peace she planted and nurtured during her earthly presence with us.
Easter peace,

Dear Family and Friends of Kay,
I just learned of the passing of Kay and am deeply saddened. Stronger than my sadness is my gratitude to Kay for her witness for peace for so many years at the corner of Forbes and Braddock. She has left all of us a great legacy in her desire and action for peace. We will carry on in her name!
