Age 86, of Shaler Township, passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025. Wife of the late Robert R. Paich; mother of Jennifer (Steven) Heinl and Penny (Bill) Caraway; grandmother of Brandon, Ethan, York and Nolan.

Kathleen was an artist, who enjoyed working around her home and her garden. She was a loving mother and grandmother, attending endless school/sporting events for decades, and making homemade Halloween costumes for her children (and then grandchildren) each year. She adored the Holidays, and her home sparkled most during Christmas when she had decorated trees in nearly every room in the house.

She loved animals, and welcomed numerous rescue dogs into the family throughout her lifetime. She loved SPAM (much to her family's chagrin), chocolate-covered strawberries, and Diet Pepsi.

A private celebrations of Kathleen's life will be held for family and friends at a later date.

Memorial contributions can be made to Animal Friends, 562 Camp Horne Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15237.
