Kathy J. Marianelli

July 5, 1952 — May 2, 2019

  It is with great sadness that we share Kathy (Barone) Marianelli of Pottsville, passed away on Thursday May 2, 2019 at the age of 66 after a long battle with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.

 

  She was born July 5, 1952 in Pottsville, a daughter of Katherine "Kay" Pewor Barone, Pottsville and the late  Angelo “Abe” Barone.  

 

  She was a 1970 graduate of Nativity BVM High School and a 1974 graduate of Immaculata College where she received degrees in biology and chemistry.

 

  Kathy worked at the Lehigh Valley-Schuylkill Hospital where she began employment in 1974. Kathy was extremely passionate about her work with the Make-A-Wish foundation as a member since 1995. With this organization she granted countless wishes to terminally ill children. She was selfless in nature, often doing thoughtful things for those she cared about. Kathy was an avid reader, enjoyed baking and spending time in the company of her family and friends. 

 

   In addition to her mother Kathy is survived by her loving husband of 44 years Bruce, a brother, Gerard “Jerry” Barone and his wife Chris; her oldest son Chad, his wife Tracey, her youngest son Adam; her grandson Max; several nieces, nephews and adored family and friends.
