Throughout her life, she brought warmth and love to those around her, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
She was the beloved wife of Joseph Kotowski, Jr., and together they built a life filled with love and dedication. Kathleen was a devoted mother to Joseph Kotowski, III, Richard (Paula) Kotowski, Jennifer (Dale George) Kotowski, and Christopher Kotowski. Her nurturing spirit and endless support were also shared with her grandchildren, Riley and Gavin, whom she adored.
As a sister, Kathleen was the dearest sibling to Patricia (late David) Szymonek, Edward (Peggy) Suflita Jr., Deborah (late Gregory) Harezga, and Anthony Suflita. She was predeceased by her sisters Theresa Songer, Lorraine (late Ray) Glanowski, Elizabeth Suflita, Sister Mary Deborah Suflita, CSSF, and brothers Peter and Paul (Joan Kirchofer) Suflita. Her role as a fond godmother to Nicholas Harezga and Thomas Songer further exemplified her caring nature.
Kathleen’s professional life saw her contributing her skills as an accountant at UB Family Medicine, where she was respected and appreciated for her diligence and commitment.
Her extended family of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends remember Kathleen as a pillar of kindness and generosity. Kathleen’s warmth and love will be remembered by all who knew her.
Family will be present on Sunday, August 17th from 12-4 PM at the PIETSZAK FUNERAL HOME, 2400 William St., near Harlem Road.
Relatives and friends are invited to assemble for a Mass of Christian Burial at Queen of Martyrs Church, 180 George Urban Blvd. on Monday morning at 10 AM. Please assemble at the Church.
We invite you to honor her memory by sharing a picture in our online Photo Album or a favorite memory in our Guest Book on the Tribute page. Through these memories, Kathleen’s enduring spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us all.
