Kathryn Boles, age 94, of Hepzibah, passed away on June 3, 2025. She was born on November 15, 1930, a daughter of the late Antonio and Theresa Audia.

Kathryn is survived by her children: David L. Crutchfield of Bridgeport and Kelley Mascioli and husband Pat of Delaware; her grandchildren: Elliott Crutchfield and husband Greg Pisini, Eric Crutchfield and wife Samantha, Korey Smith and wife Tiffany, Kara Smith, Kody Smith and wife Cecilia, and Kolby Smith and wife Kristen; her great-grandchildren: Luke Crutchfield, Bella Smith, Giana Smith, Bentley Ray, and Emerson Smith; her sister, Frances Bordi; numerous nieces and nephews that she adored; and special friends: Sheila and Fred Martin, cousin Francie Cunningham, and cousin Esther Hawkins.

In addition to her parents, Kathryn was preceded in death by her husband, Homer E. Crutchfield; brother Joseph Audia and wife Gilda; sister Flora D'Aquilante and husband Frank; and brother-in-law Louis Bordi.

Kathryn spent her entire life in Hepzibah and she was a graduate of Victory High School, where she graduated in 1948. She was also a lifelong member of the Holy Family and Saint Ann's Catholic Church. Nothing brought Kathryn more joy than her family and Mountaineer sports.
