Katherina Radocha

Katherina "Kay" Radocha was born on April 9, 1931. She enjoyed a happy childhood in Berwyn with her three sisters Ann, Hermine and Frances. Katherina was the youngest, giving her the nickname “Babe”. 

Kay met her husband, James "Jim", at a bowling league for Ceco Steel, where they were both employed. They married and moved to Brookfield to raise a family. Kay also worked at home as a typist and later worked part time for many years as a cashier for Fischer’s pharmacy and then CVS. Almost everywhere Kay went one of her customers would recognize her and start up a conversation. However, her most favorite job of all was loving and sharing her many talents with her four children, two granddaughters and four great grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her husband James, her son James J. and her sisters.

She is survived by her son David Radocha, daughter Laura (Peter) Hirt, and son Edward (Michele) Radocha, grandchildren Melissa (Nate) McFeters and Emily (Corey) Kline, great-grandchildren Kaitlyn Pomeroy, Lily, Jace and Owen McFeters. She is an aunt to many nieces and nephews.
