Kathy Krakeel Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Kathy Krakeel, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, who died on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at the age of 69. Kathryn was born in Atlanta, GA, and was the daughter of the late Jack and Betty Pulley.
As a devoted homemaker, Kathy brought warmth and love into her family's home. She took great joy in gardening and baking, often filling her kitchen with the delightful aromas of her latest creations. However, nothing brought her more happiness than her grandchildren: Ella, Will, Emily, and Amelia, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
Kathy is survived by her loving husband, Gary Krakeel; her daughters, Ashley (Robert) Plante and Melissa (Taylor) Tomlin; her brother, Don (Debbie) Pulley; and her treasured grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.
The family invites all to a visitation in honor of Kathy at Clark Funeral Home in Hiram on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m., with the rosary service beginning at 4:00 p.m.
Clark Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the services for Kathy Krakeel. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.samclarkfuneralhome.com
