Katherine Zagara Obituary

Zagara, Katherine C. (nee Kruger)

Jan 19, 2025

Of West Seneca, NY. Passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was a beautiful and kindly woman, a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, and aunt. The love she had for her family was profound, and her time with us, far too short. She is gone now in body, but her spirit will live on in our hearts forever. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Thomas F. and Angelique Zagara; her daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Robert Hernandez; her six grandchildren, Joaquin and Jude Zagara, Joseph and Bobby Hernandez, Lucian and Adrianna Schrimmel; and her great-grandson, Billy Hernandez. Welcoming her to Heaven are her husband Thomas H. Zagara; her daughter, Mandy Zagara; her grandson, Raven Zagara; her father and mother, Carl and Helen Kruger; our grandparents, Frank A. and Eileen Zagara, our Uncle Frank P. Zagara; and our Aunt Eileen Nigro. Condolences, thoughts, and prayers may be shared via mail: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Zagara, 35 Harlem Rd., West Seneca, NY 14224. Arrangements by: ERIE COUNTY CREMATION SERVICE, 824-6435. Please share your condolences online at: www.eriecountycremationservice.com.
