Katherine L. Pavlik was a fun, joyful and loving mother and adoring grandmother. The adventurous, crazy, colorful and ever-changing life of Katherine "Kay" "Kathy" "Momma Kay" Pavlik transitioned into eternal life on May 8, 2020 surrounded by her loving family.
Those who knew Kathy, knew she had an immense amount of love for her family, friends, horses, cameras, pictures, scrap books, antiques, shopping, shoes and a fancy meal.
She was a lover of life. She taught her family how to love, hug, and not to be afraid to show emotions. Her love never wavered. It was always unconditional. You knew no matter what, she would always be there to support you. That love carried onto the horses and farm life that she lived. Kathy instilled that into her children and their love for all animals.
Kathy always exuded home and comfort. She could make a home out of anywhere and anyplace no matter the spot, and no matter the company.
Kathy now joins her parents, Ryan and Tadelle in paradise. Kathy leaves behind her daughters Tricia Niederkorn Benenati, Talia Niederkorn Connelly and husband Daniel Connelly, Corrine Pavlik and partner Carl Conte, and son Coleby Pavlik. Kathy also leaves behind her grandchildren Ciarra Hradek, Colton Benenati, Ethan Craner and Natalie Craner and step-grandchildren Daniel, Mia and Mikayla Connelly.
Kathy also leaves behind many friends who loved her dearly and will miss her sparkle in her eye and fun, loving, joyful personality. Anyone who knew her loved her. Every friend of her children considered Momma Kay their second mom growing up because she was so warm and loving.
Rest in Peace Momma Kay. We love you so much.
Once Covid restrictions are lifted, the family will have a celebration of life memorial to honor her and her beautiful smile.
