Kathleen Matthews

Kathleen Matthews (nee Yancer), 76, of Warrington, PA, formerly of the Mayfair section of Northeast Philadelphia, passed away on February 5, 2026. Beloved wife of Martin, Sr. Loving mother of Cindy Zawrotuk (Michael) and Martin, Jr. (Nicole). Cherished Nana of Valerie, Matthew (Emelia), Daniel, Jonathan, Sierra, and Kira. Dear sister of Diane Pattay (Bernard), Teresa Leister (Kenneth), and the late Nicholas Yancer, Jr. Sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and extended family members.

Kathy was a 1967 graduate of St. Hubert’s High School in Philadelphia. While there, she performed in many of the school’s theatrical performances, including the role of “Mama” in “I Remember Mama.” For years, Kathy enjoyed dressing up for Halloween, hosting Christmas, New Year’s Day and Easter celebrations for family and friends, and vacationing in Ocean City, MD.

Kathy loved her family above all else. Nothing brought her more joy than watching her grandchildren play sports. She was also known for her eagerness to share a story with anyone who would listen, and for her love of finding a great bargain, a talent she took great pride in and enjoyed sharing with those around her.

Relatives and friends are invited to gather on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church (856 Euclid Ave., Warrington, PA 18976) from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM, followed by her Funeral Mass. Interment will take place at Resurrection Cemetery.
