Barbara Katana Obituary
On Nov. 27, 2020, Barbara Lowery Katana departed this earth to reside with God and departed members of family and friends, especially her grandmother Rebecca who raised her.
She is survived by her loving husband of 42 years, Andrew Katana. When she developed dementia he was her constant companion until the end. Other family members include her son John (deceased), daughter Colleen Pocalyco, sisters Becky Retreat, Maureen Pride (deceased), Harriet Callahan, and grandchildren John Christopher, Meghan Lowery, Liz Pocalyco.
Barbara worked 27 years for CB School District. She was loved by people who worked for or with her. She was considered a lady who never got angry or hurt other people's feelings. Co workers used to guess what shoe and dress combination she would wear. Barbara was an organist for 40 years for Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, Hilltown.

Aunt Barb you were a wonderful Godmother and Aunt. I sure have missed our talks. I know you're with Uncle Jack and Johnnie now as well as so many other family members who went before you. Until we meet again. Patti
