Kathleen Elizabeth Pavlich passed away peacefully on August 15, 2025 at the age of 74 surrounded by her family. Kathleen was born to her parents, Helen Palko and Joseph Skube on April 27, 1951 in Pueblo, Colorado.

Kathleen grew up and attended school in Pueblo, Colorado. She graduated from Seton High School on June 1, 1969. It was during this time that she met the love of her life, David. They were married in Pueblo, Colorado on February 10, 1973.

She was a devoted, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Kathleen found joy in watching her grandchildren’s sporting events either in person or livestreaming on her phone. Her free time was spent tending her garden and plants out in the yard, and her home was a beacon of warmth and laughter for all who knew her.

Kathleen was known for her boundless love, unwavering kindness, and selfless dedication to her family.

Kathleen is survived by her loving children, Mark Pavlich, Michael Pavlich (and spouse, Rebecca), Matthew Pavlich (and spouse Jeffi), Douglas Pavlich (and spouse Kayla), her sisters, Judy Volk (late Robert Volk), Patty Mack (and spouse Joe), and her nine adored grandchildren Brooke, Kayla, Allie, Catie, David, Joe, Jaxon, Maeson, and Emerie. She was preceded in death by her loving husband David, and her parents Joseph and Helen Skube.
