Kathy Prokash Obituary

Prokash, Kathy

Kathy Prokash passed away peacefully on February 11, 2025, a fitting conclusion to a beautiful life lived.

The epitome of positive energy, she always put everyone at ease. She was the definition of selflessness. Regardless of the occassion, she would say is "I just want us to all be together and enjoy ourselves."

As long as she had her coffee, comfy clothes and the company of friends or loved ones, nothing else in the world mattered.

Kathy is survived by her life partner John Loughlin, sons: Steven Prokash and Matthew Prokash (Janelle Miller), grandchildren: Morgan Anderson, Marly Anderson, Myer Prokash, Maxton Prokash, Erin Miller and Mackenzie Prokash, sibling: Brian Meyer. Kathy is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends, all of whom have been touched by Kathy in a very special way.

A Celebration of Life will be held on May 3rd, 2025.
