Kate was a beautiful woman inside and out. Me husband and I knew Kate through our dear friend and brother-in-law and my sister, Pete and Deb Karoly. She and Carl were Pete!s Aunt and Uncle, so they were family to us, also, especially because they never had children, Pete was like their son, and his family was theirs. We celebrated all the birthdays together and many of the holidays and other special occasions. They were a fun loving couple, and Kate remained a light to others even after Carl died, and our Peter died and she went to live in the nursing home. She will be missed greatly, but I am sure she's loving being with the love of her life again and other family members who have gone. Our condolences go out to Deb, Katey, Kevin and Joe and her other nieces and nephews she loved so dearly.

What a lovely woman she was. I knew Kate from my Brother in law Pete Karoly. Kate and Carl where like family to us for 40 years. She always had a smile on her face and love in her heart. My sister and niece Katie who is her name sake, visited her often at the nursing home. They would tell me how Kate still smiled and was thankful for her care. An amazing woman! Blessings and joy to you Kate, you are with your love, Carl.
