CAMPANELLA, KATHERINE

January 18, 2011 5 Condolences

CAMPANELLA,

Kathy Campanella was born in Brooklyn, New York on November 5, 1930 to Thomas and Catherine McBarron. She grew up on Long Island and graduated from Queens College with a degree in Industrial Psychology. She worked as an Engineering Aide at Sperry Gyroscope Company until her first child was born. She then put all her energies into her family and was a great wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and homemaker. Kathy was a devoted Catholic who was active in her parish and her children’s schools. She was involved in the Sodality at Most Holy Trinity for many years. She supported Catholic education throughout her life, and in her death continues to make it possible for many children to attend Catholic High Schools who otherwise may not have the opportunity to do so through the Kathy Campanella Scholarship Fund. Kathy was a loving, selfless, and generous woman. She left this world surrounded by her legacy: the love of her family. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Kathy is survived by her husband of 57 years, Joseph, her six children, Karen Sechena, Denise Campanella, Noreen Cravener, Michele Calebaugh, Brian Campanella, and Renee Beyer. Kathy and Joseph have been blessed with 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Visitation will be from 6-8pm, with a Rosary at 7pm, Thursday, January 20 at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road. Funeral Mass will be at 10:30am, Friday, January 21, at Most Holy Trinity Church, 8620 N. 7th Street, Phoenix. Interment will follow at St. Francis Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in remembrance of Kathy to St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

    Even though it has been many years since we spent time together, the Campanella family has always had a special place in our hearts and memories. Flying to Truckee to see the house and the party at the house on the hill and many special memories. But most of all, we remember the genuine friendship we shared. We keep you all in our prayers and know that Kathy is sorely missed.

    We want to extend our heartfelt condolences to Joe and the family for their loss of Kathy. It was a privilege to have known such a compassionate individual who brought happiness to those she touched. While she will be missed, she will live in our hearts and minds forever. We had many great times with Kathy and rejoice and laugh in our remembrances of the times we spent together. She has gone to a greater place and others will now benefit from their association with her.
