Kathy

Fagnano

Kathy Margaret Fagnano passed away on July 23, 2020, leaving behind four generations of family, and many dear friends.  Born on June 2, 1951, Kathy grew up in Fairview, NJ, and later resided in Cliffside Park and most recently, Garfield, NJ.  She was a 1969 graduate of St. Joseph Girls' High School in West New York, NJ. Kathy went on to enjoy a successful, lifelong career in banking, first at Edgewater National Bank, then Fleet Bank, United Jersey Bank, Bank of America, Valley Bank and finally Connect One Bank until her retirement. Always the life of the party, Kathy was a dedicated NY Giants fan, a faithful patron of the Maywood Pool, a frequent chaperone of Northern Valley Regional High School's Music Department trips, and a devotee of Bruce Springsteen.  Her true life's devotion, however, was to her family.  Kathy was the first to offer help to any family member or friend, and was abundantly generous and always willing to give of herself. She was a beloved aunt and godmother and favorite playmate of the youngest generation. She was loved and cherished by all. Kathy was predeceased by her parents, Anthony and Harriet Fagnano. She is survived by her brother James Fagnano and his wife Claire. Kathy also leaves behind a large extended family including aunts, uncles and several generations of cousins. She will be deeply missed, and dearly remembered for her warmth, generosity and fun-loving spirit. Though petite in stature, Kathy has left a tremendous legacy of love. Arrangements by A.K.
