Kathleen Buczek Obituary
Born on September 3, 1948, in Connecticut to James Dolphin and Marcella Sculley. She graduated from Pope Pius XII High School in Passaic, New Jersey in 1966.
Kathleen was a loving mother to Jeffrey Buczek; Jeanette Buczek; Jaime Hiller (née Buczek); a very proud mother in law to Russell Hiller; and her cherished grandchildren Justin and Lara Hiller. She found immense joy in being a grandmother and treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren. Her role as Grandma was a role that she embraced wholeheartedly.
Known for her infectious sense of humor, Kathleen had a unique gift for making people laugh. Whether through a clever remark or a warm-hearted joke, she had an uncanny ability to lift spirits.
A private ceremony will be held in her honor to celebrate her life.
Her memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her.

Those who knew her loved her as her personality shined through her always. To her family remember Psalm 29:11. God is our strength through His love.
