Kathleen Rafalski  “Kathy”

May 11, 2024, age 65 years. Beloved daughter of Thomas and Barbara (nee Rebatzke) Hopkins.  Loving mother of Connie Hausch, Judy (Brandon) Richards, Chris (Laurie) Fakhar, Ashley (Tanner) Clayton, Arick Fakhar and Lisa (Max) Rafalski. Cherished grandmother of Donovan, Kavan, Robbi, Conner, Brinley, Carson, Daxton, Fionna, Eleanor, Liam, and Jameson.  Proud great-grandmother of Austin and Andi.  Dear sister of David (Linda) Hopkins, Tommy Hopkins, Cheryl (Max) Stephenson and Jayne Bronikowski. Fond sister-in-law of Lu Ann Hopkins.  Preceded in death by her father, Thomas Hopkins, her brother Pat Hopkins and her partner Kenny.  Further survived by many nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

Kathy was happiest when she was with people – especially her family.  When she went out, you could catch her going someplace where she could play a game of darts or bowl and hopefully find some of her favorite “golden oldies” to play on the juke box.  When she was at home, you could catch her curled up on the couch with her savory snacks watching shows on the Hallmark or Lifetime networks.
