Kathleen Paschall Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 26, 2024.
Kathleen Elizabeth Paschall, known affectionately as Kathi, passed away on August 17, 2024, in Birmingham, Alabama, at the age of 74. Born on September 22, 1949, in Granite City, Illinois, Kathi was a beacon of love and support throughout her life.

Kathi graduated from Granite City Senior High and spent her life making a profound impact on those around her. She was a loving wife, a dedicated mother, and a supportive friend, always ready to lend a helping hand. Kathi was a devoted member of Covenant Community Church of Navarre, where she practiced her faith fervently and served her community with great dedication.

Her hobbies included quilting, a passion through which she crafted not only beautiful art but also warm connections with fellow quilting enthusiasts.

Kathi was preceded in death by her father, Burrell Wayne Pierce; her husband, Lee Paschall Jr.; her niece, Christina Duke; her parents, Joan (McCormick) and Billy Duke; and her nephew, Evan Duke. She leaves behind a loving family: her daughter Alicia (Josh) Taylor; granddaughter Amara Nefores; brother Terry (Dena) Pierce, sister Eileen (Ed) Kamphoefner, brothers Kevin (Sharon) Duke, Dan (Colleen) Duke, Tom (Lynn) Duke, Mark (Bette) Duke, Richard (Kathy) Duke, Tim (Gina) Duke; along with 18 nieces and nephews, and countless friends who felt like family.

A Celebration of Life will be held on her birthday, September 22nd, officiated by Tim Sheldon. Details regarding the place and time will be announced soon.

Kathi will be remembered for her unwavering kindness, her enduring faith, and her ability to inspire and care for everyone she met. Her legacy of love and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Kathi was the first real friend we met when we moved to Navarre a couple of years ago. She was a gentle prayer warrior and witness for her Lord in good times and bad.
Kathi was genuine and one of the most caring people I have had the pleasure of knowing. With thanksgiving for her life and love.

I learned from Kathi how to pick yourself up in a time of crises and carry on with grace and love. I learned to shower people with love and kindness even when you were struggling yourself. I smile thinking of her being reunited with her husband Lee.

Kathi became a member of our Quilting group and captured our hearts on day one. I was blessed to become her friend. Her sweetness was genuine. Her love for her friends was all encompassing. There will be an empty chair at our Quilting group, but she leaves many memories and she was the epitome of God's love. Fly high, sweet friend, fly high...

I met Kathi in 2008 when I began going to Covenant Community Church. Kathi was a very Godly Christian woman with a heart of gold. I looked up to Kathi and longed to be like her as a Christian. I miss her so much and know that she is in a better place.

Kathi was a might woman of God. Her passion for the Lord was fabulous. I will never forget her and her smiling face. She loved the Lord so much. She loved everybody and wanted everybody to know about Jesus. She will be deeply missed, but she´s always with us in our hearts now she is not suffering. She is home with her Lord and savior, I will never ever forget her. I will miss her deeply. She was a very caring and kind person always had a smile on her face no matter what I´m glad I could call her my friend and sister in Christ. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Kathi´s smile was the main thing that comes to my mind. When my husband went home 5 years ago, Kathi was so very supportive and we shared some tears and grief over missing our husbands. But she always had a smile and understanding about her that was contagious. What a gracious lady she was and is as an Angel in heaven.
