For over six decades, she graced her card club with her presence; her culinary creations earned her the title of one of the best hostesses. Mary Kathryn’s intellect was matched only by her love for books, which she shared passionately, particularly during the cherished tradition of reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to her beloved grandchildren on Christmas Eve. An avid gardener, she always enjoyed spending time tending to her beautiful flowers that surrounded her home. Mary Kathryn loved to travel; her journeys led her to Ireland, Spain, Italy, and family vacations all across the United States. Family reunions and sisters' weekends, complete with a shared bottle of Jameson, were highlights of her year, a testament to her devotion to those she loved.

Surviving to cherish Mary Kathryn’s memory; her four children, William (Jan) Marraccini of Bangor PA, Mary Teresa “Terry” (Dave) Nicely of Eighty Four PA, Valerie (Dennis) Stitch of Lock View PA, and Eugene Marraccini Jr. of Lock View PA, and adored grandmother of Jennifer, Jessica, Jason, Amanda, Adrienne, Aaron, Sarah, Emmanuel, Patrick, and Sean, along with her nine great-grandchildren.
