Katherine Weiss Obituary

Weiss, Katherine Ann (Née Georges) Of Mequon, entered into Eternal Life on Tue., May 28, 2013, at the age 46 years. For 21 years, Kathy was the beloved wife of Bryan Weiss and devoted mother of Alex, Maddie and Christopher. Born in Staten Island, New York on September 20, 1966, Kathy was the loving daughter of Hap and Phyllis Georges and beautiful sister of Bill (Kristina) Georges of New York. Dear daughter-in-law of Larry and Amy Weiss and special sister-in-law of four brothers-in-law and their wives. She is further survived by countless loving nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Kathy was superbly active in her community and an inspiration to all who knew her, both young and old. Whether cheering loudest on the sidelines or marching a Girl Scout troop around a lake, her energy and selflessness will be sorely missed. Kathy was deeply devoted to her church and parish, and held the children and families of Lumen Christi Catholic School close to her heart. To honor this passion, donations may be directed to Lumen Christi Catholic School, the Kathy Weiss Fund, 11300 N. St. James Lane, Mequon, WI 53092. With grace and determination, Kathy survived breast cancer and continued to support many women with the same diagnosis. To honor her strength, memorial donations may be made to her local breast cancer organization: ABCD Inc., 5775 N Glen Park Road, Glendale, WI 53209. Kathy gave of herself at every opportunity: her generosity and thoughtfulness will live on in her three children, as well as the many she touched and inspired. Visitation will be held at the Funeral Home on Friday, May 31 from 4 PM until the time of Prayer Services at 7:30 PM. A second visitation will be held on Saturday, at LUMEN CHRISTI CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2700 W. Mequon Rd., corner of N. Range Line Rd., in Mequon from 10 AM until 11:45 AM with the celebration of the Mass of Christian Burial beginning at 12:00 Noon. Burial will be private for the family at Wisconsin Memorial Park in Brookfield.

Dear Mr and Mrs Georges, Billy and Bryan and Family,

It is a very sad day, as I just learned of Kathy's passing. Please accept my very deepest condolences and sympathy on the loss of your wonderful Daughter and Sister, Wife and Mother. It has been many years since our paths have crossed, but I remember all of the Georges' family fondly and with a smile. I'm obviously flooded with memories of Ithaca College and your home on Long Island, such great times, "disappearing" at Buttermilk Falls, Beach Volleyball in the Hamptons, falling off the boat at your BML home. I can't imagine your pain, but hope that the prayers of me and my Family and positive memories of Kathy might just relieve a bit of the sorrow and hopefully bring a smile to your faces. And to Tracy P, if you ever read this, my sympathies on the loss of such a good friend. Kathy was a truly special kind of person and I always considered myself the better for having known her.
My best to all of you and as I read another comment that said "heaven got a bit brighter", and I couldn't agree more.
John

From 2 docks down at The Nest , Bl. Mt. Lk., we have enjoyed the family fun clearly cherished as Kathy and family arrived. Boats loaded with children , Kathy often driving the boat taking kids tubing, always a mom tending to the memories she made and will forever be part of . May these loving memories and more bring comfort in the midst of your tragic loss. You are thought of and prayed for in this most difficult valley. With Love, Lynn and Gregg

To Bryan, Alex, Maddie and Christopher- from the 1st day I met Kathy back in 1989... I knew she was a very special lady...from the moment I met her the Light of Christ was present... The times we spent together were always filled with laughter, smiles and fond memories that I will always cherish. She was not only beautiful on the outside but her radiance and grace shone through her smile and those sparkling eyes and adorable dimples! She had a servant heart and shared that with everyone she knew. I would like to offer my time for you, your family and friends to paint a mural at Lumen Christi this summer or in the fall in loving memory of your amazing wife and mother. Bill, you honored your sister in such a brave, loving, touching and beautiful way. Kathy, I will never forget you and you will be in my heart forever. God Bless Your Entire family... what an ANGEL on earth she was to all of us!

Bryan, Alex, Maddie, and Christopher~
Yesterday was a beautiful tribute to your inspiring faith-filled wife, mother, and friend. Bill's eulogy was one I will never forget, and every time I hear "Brown-eyed Girl", it will be a reminder of a wonderful lady. No one will ever know all the behind-the-scenes acts of kindness and selflessness she exuded where Lumen Christ teachers and staff were concerned. Heaven has its newest angel! We are all better people because of the love Kathy has shown each one of us.

Karen Leonhardt

Mrs. Weiss, I don't think I ever saw you without a smile on your face. You always knew how to cheer people up and you were so excited for our graduation even though none of your kids were in our grade. We missed your smile at graduation but felt your presence. You will forever be missed.

She will surely be missed but even though she's gone she is going to be making an impact on others who try to live the way she did and make a difference for others. The world is and will be a better place because of Kathy.

Few people have the ability to leave an indelible mark on the lives of others. Regardless of the number of years. Or the frequency of moments. Kathy was one of those rare people. I have not been in touch with Kathy since high school, yet I feel blessed for the time that our paths crossed. I think of her, and how her warmth and energy shone through her beaming smile. A bright sunny day will not pass again where I won't think that it is partly due to Kathy's bright smile shining down on us.

My condolences and prayers go out to her husband, children and family.

May 31, 2013

I am so sorry to hear of this tragic heartbreaking news. Kathy and I go back to 5th grade and I will always remember her sweet smile. She will truly be missed. My heart and prayers go out to the entire family. God bless.
