Katherine “Kathy” Ann Cavanaugh
"I love you all, muahaaaa."
Katherine “Kathy” Ann Cavanaugh (nee Peck), gained her angel wings on March 12th, 2024, at the age of 72. Born on April 29, 1951, in Stockton, CA, Kathy’s life recipe included elegance, a dash of prissiness, kindness accompanied with boundless generosity, an admirable zest for life and laughter, and an all-encompassing love.
For 27 years, Kathy was a master in the hospitality industry, serving up love, laughs, sarcasm, smiles and sass, pouring her heart into every glass and plate she served as a sensational waitress and bartender – she dedicated most of her career to patrons at Marie Callender’s.
Kathy’s truest happiness was her family and loved ones. She capitalized on every opportunity to talk about family being her source of joy and how proud she was of her grandchildren, as their accomplishments were also hers – her family was arguably her most important achievement in life.
Kathy was predeceased by her beloved parents, Dardanell and Lewie, and older brothers, David and Dean. She is survived by Bill, her loving husband of 46 years and partner in life’s dance, as well as her children, Steven (Jen) and Lisa; her grandchildren Trevor and Arianna; her siblings Scott (Kathy), Diane, Sandy (Virgil); and many nieces, nephews and friends turned family.
Kathy was the spark that ignited joy in every gathering, which is her legacy that keeps on giving.
