Kathleen was a 1980 graduate of Averill Park High School. She retired as a dedicated employee of the DMV after more than 35 years of service and also cleaned for many loyal customers in her spare time. Kathleen had an infectious smile that lit up any room she entered.

She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her children and grandsons. She loved going on shopping trips with her cousins, enjoying live music with friends, and taking long daily walks.

Kathleen is survived by her children, William "Billy" (Yvonne) Weis and Melinda "Mindy" (Patrick) Mason, as well as the father of her children, William (Colleen Knaupp) Weis. She was the beloved grandmother ( G-Kathy ) of Joshua Shayne Weis, Jayson William Weis, Hunter Michael Mason, and Austin Stevie Mason, all of whom she adored.

Kathleen was predeceased by her mother Joyce, brothers Thomas Cossack and David Murray, and her beloved Nana, Aunt Georgeann, and Aunt Howie.
