Kathleen “Kathy” F. Nykaza (nee Nolan), 63, of Bartlett since 1987, died Sunday, November 11, 2018. Born June 23, 1955 in Chicago. Kathy was a voracious reader. She enjoyed a good mystery novel while sipping her tea and eating popcorn but what she enjoyed the most was spoiling her grandchildren. Beloved wife of over 43 years to Greg; loving mom of Michael (April) and Carolyn; cherished grandma of Christian, Jason and Gavin; kind daughter of the late John and LaVerne Nolan and dear sister of Paul (late Donna) Nolan, John (Alexis) Nolan, Marguerite “Peggy” (Robert) Nykaza and Tracey (Robert) Habel and kind owner of Ziggy the dog. Service and cremation are private at the Countryside Funeral Home and Crematory, 950 South Bartlett Rd (at Stearns Rd), Bartlett. In lieu of flowers, memorials to St Jude Children's Research Hospital, www.stjude.org, would be appreciated.
