Kathey "Oddett" Aglietti, 75, of Anchorage, Alaska passed away on August 30th, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

She was the heart and soul of her family, a woman whose loyalty, love, and strength were unmatched. To know her was to know what it meant to be cared for, protected, and cherished. She was a true mama bear, always putting family first and making everyone feel safe and loved.

She shared nearly 50 beautiful years with the love of her life, Terry. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, devotion, and an unbreakable bond. Her greatest pride was in her family, especially her 12 grandchildren, who brought endless joy and light into her world. She embraced every moment with them, and her eyes lit up whenever they were near.

Life handed her many hardships and losses, but she faced every challenge with courage, grace, and the spirit of a warrior. Through it all, she never stopped loving deeply, laughing often, and reminding us of what truly matters.

Her favorite saying was simple yet powerful: "In my life, I've been so lucky in family and friends that's all that matters." And she lived the truth every single day.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and loyalty that will live on in her husband Terry, her children, Kerry Aglietti, Cassandra Aglietti and her wife Miriha, Kathryn Kniefel and her husband Scott Kniefel, Craig Aglietti and his partner Victoria Davis. Grandchildren, Conner and Samantha Scalf, Grant, Bia, Conner (his wife Katie), Jeffery, Jazzy, Dylan, Neil, Breslyn Kniefel, Cayson Davis, Cole and Claire Aglietti. She is also survived by her sister Linda Thompson, her children Brian and Shannon Thompson along with their spouses, and their children. Her sister-in-law Alene Williamson and their extended family. Her brother-in-law Gary Aglietti and his children Garin, Ryan, Leeann, and Michael Aglietti.

The celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor her memory by donating to Providence Hospice Compassion Care at https://www.compassus.com/about-us/giving-and-donations/.

A special thank you to Nurse Sam, who was an amazing support and resource to us in our most vulnerable time.
