Kathleen Patricia Walton, dearly beloved mother, grandmother, and cherished friend, passed away on October 28, 2024 in Chandler Hall Hospice in Newtown, PA, at the age of 76. Born on March 17, 1948, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kathleen's journey through life was filled with love, laughter, and deep dedication to her family and community.
Kathleen worked with unwavering commitment as an administrative assistant for the Flemington-Raritan School District for 25 years, where she left an indelible mark on those she encountered, always offering kindness and support. A proud graduate of Princeton High School, she carried the values of education and hard work throughout her life, which she instilled in her children and grandchildren.
As a devoted family person, Kathleen's greatest joy came from spending time with her grandchildren, twins James and William, Ava and Greyson. Her love for them knew no bounds, and she cherished every moment spent in their cheerful company. Kathleen adored her family, often highlighted through her active engagement in their lives and interests, ensuring that love and laughter filled the air during family gatherings.
Her zest for life extended beyond her family; Kathleen was deeply involved with the Bensalem and Bristol senior centers. She found happiness in exploring yard sales and thrift stores, where she loved hunting for hidden treasures. Arts and crafts brought her immense joy, as did the challenge of solving jigsaw puzzles, and her competitive spirit radiated during games of Boggle and Scrabble.
Kathleen's warmth and compassion touched the hearts of many, and her spirit will live on in the memories of those who had the privilege of knowing her. She is survived by her son Jason S. Ivenz, his wife Kimberly Ivenz of Bristol, PA, her step-sons Matthew (Alecia) Walton of Glen Ridge, NJ, and Robert K. (Kathleen) Walton of Hampton, NJ, and her grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, George Krepley Walton.
