Kathleen is survived by her loving children Donna Alfieri (Patricia); Andrea Duda; and Andrew Alfieri (Cary). She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren Kiely, Alexis “Allie,” and Matthew. Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband, Andrew, in 2018, and her siblings, Marcella, Ann and Garry.
