Kathleen Worden Obituary
Born on January 2, 1955, in Kingston, New York, Kathy was the daughter of Earl Leonard and Wanetta VanWagner. She was also lovingly raised by her foster parents, Jerry and Nina DeJoy. A proud graduate of Charlotte Valley Central School, she was a member of the Class of 1974.
Kathy dedicated her career to serving others as a Personal Care Aid. Her work reflected a lifelong commitment to compassion and care for those in need.
She was a devoted mother and grandmother who treasured time with her family. Kathy found joy in life's simple pleasures-playing cards, assembling puzzles, and crocheting with creativity and care.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Tracey McDade and Stacey Coll; her son William (Bill) McKee Jr.; her son-in-law Jason McDade; and her grandchildren Mikayla McDade, Victor Antonio Coll, Victoria Coll, and Jaysen McDade (Lauren Schroth).
A Celebration of Life will be held on June 29, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the home of Jason & Tracey McDade.
Kathy's warmth and devotion will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. May her memory bring comfort and peace.

Watching your grandchildren learn how to use your hand shredded, like it was a foreign object, just a couple of the many memories I will treasure forever. You will truly be missed. There are no words to express the hurt of losing you. I love you!

My dear sister Kathy, I miss you already. You have always been such a special person in my life. Caring, compassionate, and with such a good loving heart for others and the Lord Jesus. I have been blessed to have you as part of my life and you will always remain strong in my heart. Thank you Kathy, for being you. May you rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus. This isn't goodbye. It's "Until we meet again". I love you Sis.
