Kathleen Dale Kearney
Heaven's peace welcomed Kathleen Dale Kearney's soul on July 28, 2015, after complications from leukemia. Kathleen's gracious, generous spirit will carry on in all the lives she touched. She was a loving nana, mother, sister, and friend. She enjoyed playing mah jong and bridge; was an avid reader, bargain shopper, and decorator. Most of all, she loved to garden. We will rejoice her beauty in every bloom.
Kathleen was born in Sewickley, PA, on June 11, 1948, to Patrick and Betty (Bates) Kearney. Kathleen graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania as a teacher and traveled the world making it her own. As an Army spouse, she lived in Okinawa and all across our country. She then spent many years in Saudi Arabia with ARAMCO. After returning to the United States, she lived in Louisiana, North Carolina, and Ohio.
She is cherished by her three children, Nicholas Drobotij, with wife Sheila (Mercado) and children Liam and Iain of Aurora, OH; Erin (Drobotij) Knight, with husband Bryon and children Connor, Chloe, and Ethan of Ballston Lake, NY; and Patrick Drobotij, with wife Megan (King) of Tallmadge, OH.; her sister, Karen (Kearney) and husband Rich Janecek of Allison Park, PA, and her twin sister, Kate (Kearney) and husband Rev. James Lutz of Akron, OH, are joined by many friends and family missing her dearly.
