Jim an Family I’m so sorry for your loss. Kathy was a wonderful person and a Great Neighbor. She will be missed so much by so many. Rest in Peace Kathy. You will be missed. Love Cindy Kaelin
We were fortunate to have Kathy join our cardiology team, years ago, at North Penn Hospital. She brought a calm sense of organization and efficiency to the typically chaotic hospital environment. She eventually joined our outpatient office staff and worked with us until her retirement. Patients and colleagues enjoyed her friendship. Her favorite topic, of course, was her family, and she loved to talk about times in Sea Isle.
Sincere condolences to her family. Rest In Peace, Kathy. We will miss you.

Kathy was a special part of our cardiology team, first at the hospital in Lansdale, then in our Lansdale CCP office. Our staff and our patients were always confident that things would run smoothly when Kathy was present. Her sense of humor always helped during some of the more stressful moments. Sincere condolences to her family – always her number one priority. Rest In Peace, Kathy.
