Kathryn (Kathy) Myers (nee Mackintosh) aged 82, of Staten Island passed away on March 1, 2024 after a long illness. She was a graduate of Curtis H.S. Kathy retired from the Dept. of Sanitation where she held many positions, the most interesting being a scale operator weighing garbage trucks at the now closed garbage dump. It is here that she gained her fair amount of swear words. She loved to remind us of that.
Kathy was preceded in death by her husband Robert F Myers Jr and her youngest son Keith Myers.
Kathy leaves behind her daughter Judith (Judy) Gottlieb and Son in law Scott Gottlieb, son Robert (Bobby) Myers and daughter in law Becky Myers, a sister Marylou Mishler and 4 grandchildren Katie, Jess, Claire and Charlie.
Throughout her life Kathy was noted as being small but mighty. She showed this throughout her 11 year battle with Alzheimer's disease. Kathy cherished time with family. Her favorite holidays to gather were Easter and Thanksgiving, making huge meals that could feed triple the amount of people seated at her dining room table. She was a great supporter of her kids, especially during their West Shore Little League days, shared in their successes in life and often gloated to her friends about them. Kathy loved scratch offs and Christmas stockings always contained them.
Kathy had such a special bond with her grandchildren. She made up a special saying that she repeated with them every time they visited.
Kathy was so loved and will be extremely missed. In lieu of flowers please send a donation to VNS hospice in memory of Kathy at https://www.vnshealth.org/in-the-community/giving/
A visitation for Kathryn will be held Monday, March 4, 2024 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Harmon Funeral Home, 571 Forest Ave, Staten Island, NY 10310, followed by a visitation from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
