Kathy Runyon (July 27, 1961 – October 3, 2024)
We are celebrating the life of Kathleen Marie (McGrath) Runyon. The daughter of Philip and Marie McGrath, Kathy grew up in Guilderland, New York. She graduated from Averett College in Virginia and then met Charlie, whom she married in 1987.
Kathy had many hobbies and loved to spend her time outdoors. She was always going for walks, hiking, kayaking, and playing paddle and pickleball. Kathy loved to be by the water, out in the garden, or sitting in the sun and loved going to all her children’s events and sports games. She was a well-loved volunteer at the East Rochester G2 program, as well as at many other organizations.
Her most cherished moments were spending time with family and friends, of which she had countless.
Kathy is survived by husband Charlie, children Shawn (Mollie), Abby (Sara), and Ally (Winston), grand-children Amelia, Renzie, and Tyson, as well as sister Carol Tracy (Ken), and brothers Tucker McGrath and Jeff McGrath (Joan, children Ryan and Nicole).
