Kathy Louise Stanley, 62, of McKeesport passed away Sunday, February 5, 2023. She was born January 26, 1961 in Wilkinsburg, and was the daughter to the late Albert Obies, Sr., and the late Betty May Hockenbery-Bergman. Kathy was a very giving, loving, and fun mother, grandmother & great-grandmother. She was always the neighborhood mom, and her house was always the place to be for the kids to hang out growing up. She loved listening to James Taylor, playing Bingo, going on shopping trips, and passing time by playing games on her phone. She would snack on Milky Way bars and would eat the whole bag if her family would let her. She loved spending time with her whole family the most. Kathy always said she had 6 children, but one of them had 4 legs because her dog, Pickles, was her best friend.

She is survived by her children, Crystal (Earl) Simms of Carrick, Shannon Ward of Iowa, Sara Sturges of McKeesport, Kelsi Stanley Candelore of Port Vue, and Bryan Gilbert, Jr. of Elizabeth; 15 grandchildren, DJ, Bailey, Zachary, Malayah, Jordan, Aidan, Sophia, Hope, Addison, Maci, Mia, Lillyana, Luka, and Luna; great-grandchildren, Kamari and Nikko; her siblings, Betty Foley, and Mary Ann Wardach; and many nieces and nephews.
