Kathleen was born on March 23, 1968 in Cleveland to the late Lewis and Jeanne (Salek) Cutshaw in (Town). She was one of three daughters. She graduated from Kenston High School and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in accounting. Kathleen worked as an accountant at First Federal of Lakewood.
She married Emil Valerio, and together they raised two children. Kathleen enjoyed gardening, crocheting, and working on puzzles, hobbies that reflected her patience and creativity.
She will be greatly missed by her loving husband, Emil; her children, James and Shannon; and her sisters, Lisa Cutshaw and Bridget (Neal) Popovic. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Per Kathleen's wishes, cremation has taken place, and the family will hold a celebration of her life at a later date.
