Kathi Lee Adams, age 58, of Laceyville, passed away at Allied Services Hospice Center on Wednesday afternoon, September 24, 2025 after a short battle with cancer.

Born in Tunkhannock, PA on February 24, 1967, she was the daughter of Beulah Ellis Decker and the late Tracey H. Decker (d. Nov. 6, 2011). Growing up in Susquehanna County, Kathi attended Elk Lake High School and graduated with the class of 1985.

Kathi was employed as a bartender and waitress serving her community food and drink in several establishments around the area, but mostly at the Hayloft, where her friendly face and warm demeanor greeted customers for over 18 years.
