Kay took care of their home and Bill worked for Weirton Steel.
Kay enjoyed watching the penguins and the steelers, shopping, and going to church. But nothing compared to the cherished times she spent with her family especially when she was spoiling her two grandchildren. If she could not visit in person she would facetime with them.

There aren’t many family memories that don’t involve Aunt Kay… from football Sundays in our black and gold to Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. To her immediate family: our heart breaks for you. And to Georgia: it was obvious to everyone who knew both of you that you shared such a special connection. You will be missed, Aunt Kay. We hope your heaven is everything you’ve ever dreamed of. All our love, The Benaventes ❤️
Recently reunited through Facebook and Messenger and planning to FaceTime and get together for reunion next summer. God blessed us to connect and express our love for each other. I will regret not being able to talk with her or visit her. I send my love and prayers to all the family.

One cannot experience joy if one doesn’t experience sorrow. Thank you for the joy, Aunt Kay. I will miss you dearly.
Dear Aunt Kay, I will miss you and forever hold the happy memories with me each day that we were blessed to share. I will never forget all the Christmas celebrations and milestones you were there to love and support me at. I am so happy to have had you in my life! Love, Hugs, and Kisses Johnna
To the Harrison family, I am a friend to Kay’s niece Liza. She speaks so fondly of her family, all of her family and especially Aunt Kay. Liza is a special person and my experience tells me that it took that amazing family that she adores to help mold her. I am so sorry for your sudden loss. I believe she is now in eternal peace and you will be reunited. Prayers of comfort and peace. A friend of the family – Will Thomas

I want to share my sincerest condolences to the entire family. To Zach, Sandi, Sydney, and Madison, I’m sorry for your loss. I want to especially wish Georgia and Bill Jonczak, Matt and Candi and Anna Pitek, and Liza Jonczak my deepest sympathies. “Aunt Kay” was a kind, loving woman and was always so full of life. I enjoyed the time I spent with her and remember how we watched a few Penguin games together while she cheered on Kris Letang. I remember the good food I had while I attended a few celebrations at her house while I nibbled on the M&Ms she left out for guests. “Aunt Kay” will be deeply missed and I pray for all during this time. May God guide you all and watch over you in the days to come. I’m sorry I can’t be there, but I again want to wish the entire family peace and comfort and my deepest condolences.
To her family – I was shocked to see this. I saw the ambulance that morning at her house, and have been wondering how she is. She was my neighbor lived right across the street from me and we just talked aug7.She was a sweet person and always loved when I brought my cats outside. She always asked me how they were. She will be missed. 🙁
I’m so glad our paths crossed in life. What a kind lady. She’ll be missed! Prayers for the family!
God Bless you all, Sam Greco
