Kathleen Hubert

Kathleen Hubert, 69, a resident of Blairstown, NJ., passed away on January 19, 2025, at her residence. She was born in Newark, NJ on September 11, 1955, to John and Marie (Musto) Spath.

She had been a Logistics Coordinator for Panasonic Corporation of North America in Secaucus, NJ. Her leisure time includes reading Fanfiction where she would read stories by average people who would post their work online. Kathy would play June’s Journey, an online strategy game, meeting many amazing people who she called her dear friends all around the world. Her greatest pleasure was traveling and vacationing, including three cruises to Alaska and once to Hawaii.

She was a huge fan of the Food Network. Too many programs to mention but especially Chopped. Loved to search the internet for recipes and made some delicious meals with the occasional dud, was a very accomplished cook. Some of her other favorite shows were Jersey Shore, of course, The Voice, Swamp People, and a whole host of others. Needless to say, she loved her TV programs.

Participating in football pools was a passion. She would spend every Sunday meticulously recording the scores, highlighting the winners, and declaring, “I hate football” on a regular basis because she rarely won any money but enjoyed the process.

Loved gardening, roses were her favorites, enjoyed nature as well, spending time at the kitchen table looking out the window into the backyard at the birds, bobcats, bears and all the other critters from deer to skunks.

As a woman of faith, prayed often for others as well as herself with a personal relationship with God. A very thoughtful person who will be missed by the very few friends she had, especially Joyce, Kumie and “Savannah”.

She is survived by her husband Jay of 42 wonderful years.  They were loving companions who always supported one another.

Arrangements are private and have been entrusted to Newbaker Funeral Home, 200 Route 94, Blairstown, NJ.
