Kathleen Kay Pack, passed away peacefully on August 30, 2024, in Canton, OH at the age of 82. Born on October 25, 1941, in Canton, she dedicated her life to caring for others and was a beloved member of her community.
Kathleen found joy in her faith, teaching CCD at St. Joan of Arc Church, and was an active member of The Father's House. She always found solace and strength in her time spent at the Meyers Lakes YMCA, enjoying the camaraderie and exercise it provided.
A proud wife, mother, and grandmother, Kathleen's family was her greatest achievement. Renowned for her green thumb, she took delight in tending to the colorful array of flowers in her yard. Kathleen's grandchildren will forever remember her as the coolest grandma, always ready for outdoor adventures like sledding and hiking, their time together filled with laughter and love. She will be dearly missed.
Kathleen was preceded in death by her parents, Paul V. and Marie Kestel; grandson, Joseph Rubio; and siblings, Eileen Kestel, Sue Ann Ragon, Paul V. Kestel II, John Kestel, Rose Marie "Dolly" Williams, and Gary Kestel Sr.
She leaves to cherish her memory her loving husband of almost 57 years, Joe Pack; daughters, Kristina Rubio, Joanna (Tom) Swallen; grandchildren, Kristel Rubio, Richard Rubio, Kelsey (Ethan) Bennett, Katrina Rubio, Michael O'Donnell; brother, Jim (Barb) Kestel; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.
