Obituary of Kathleen Jean Fagan

With deep sadness we announce the passing of Kathleen Fagan, loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to all whose lives she touched.

Kathleen Jean Fagan, age 65, of Joliet, passed away peacefully, Saturday, October 9, 2021 at Lightways Hospice with her loving family by her side.

Kathy was a lifelong resident of Joliet, and a graduate of Joliet Central High School, Class of 1974. 

On September 20, 1975, Ron and Kathy together created a solid family foundation.  Kathy was retired and loved spending time with Ron out on their Harley, crocheting, camping, and spending time with all her grandchildren.

Kathy was a dedicated family leader first and foremost.  She instilled in her children and grandchildren the importance of family, never judged, and always supported each and every step of her children’s adventures.  She will be dearly and forever missed.

Kathy is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, Ronald C. Fagan, Jr.; her beloved children, Bobbie J. Fagan-Sing, Nicholas J. (Dana) Fagan, and Brian M. (Stephenie) Fagan; her adoring grandchildren,  Patrick, Brianna and Payton Sing, Aiden, Abigail, Madelyn and Joseph Fagan, Kendall Lardi, and Alyssa and Camron Fagan..

She is preceded in death by her parents, John C. and Margaret Miller; her husband’s parents, Ronald C. and Joan P. Fagan, Sr.; and her brothers, David and Donald Miller.

The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to Lightways Hospice for the compassionate care given to Kathy and her family.  In lieu of flowers, memorials in her name to Lightways Hospice, 250 Water Stone Circle, Joliet, IL 60431 (www.lightways.org) would be appreciated.

Per Kathy’s wishes, cremation rites have been accorded and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
