KATHLEEN, (nee Spatocco), age 71, October 31, 2024. Dearest companion of Tom McFall. Daughter of the late Michael and Frances Spatocco. Devoted mother of Karen (John, Sr.) Kohlepp and the late Tiffany Lynn Shippee.

Dear sister of Marie (Ray) Mannino, Frank (Marina) Spatocco, and Susan (Gary) Robbins; also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Kathleen worked as a bookkeeper all of her life. She owned and operated SBSI bookkeeping for 30 years. She gave a helping hand to whoever needed it. A person of many hobbies, she enjoyed sewing, baking and cooking, especially around the holidays. Kathleen was also a big NASCAR fan, and we cannot forget her love of Dunkin Donuts coffee.
Spending time up in the mountains with family and friends, it did not matter at what time of year. Whether it was sitting around a campfire, snowmobiling or going out on her boat. Her family was her life, especially with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be sadly missed.
