Obituary for Kathleen Endress
Kathleen, "Kat" Endress went to be with our Lord, Saturday, January 13th, 2024, peacefully at home.
She was born July 13, 1960 to Robert Sr. and Barbara Phillips in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She was preceded in death by her son, Jim "Jimbo", her mother Barbara, and her sister Debbie.
She is survived by her loving Husband, James Endress Jr. of Alum Bank; Father Robert Phillips, Sr. and wife Kathleen Phillips of Tamaqua; Children: Michael and Michele DeClerico, Rebecca and Brian Bohley, Stacy Shaw, and Brunel, Haiti; Step-Children: Jim Endress III & wife Ashley, Sheena Hissong & husband Marck, Linsey McFetridge & fiance Paul, Ryan Miller, Jennifer Krug & husband Adam; 16 Grandchildren and 1 Great Grandchild; Siblings: Barbara "Fluffy" Forrest, Robert Phillips Jr.(Cynthia), Dolores Valentine(Cody), Edward Phillips(Megan) and many Friends and Family who will miss her greatly.
Kathy enjoyed putting backpacks together for the homeless. She enjoyed spoiling her animals on the farm, spending time on the boat and fishing with her husband. Kathy was a member of Crossroads Bible Church, Bedford. She enjoyed missions work and had many Haitian "children" she took under her wing and kept in touch with long after her trips to Haiti. When she traveled with her husband, they'd spend time volunteering at All For Him Ministries in Tennessee. Kathy suffered a long battle with COPD and Emphysema and fought hard until the very end.
As per Kathy's request, no funeral or memorial service will be held. Kathy wanted friends and family to remember her full of life, and not be remembered by her death. In Lieu of flowers, please help someone in need.
