Obituary

Kathleen Kegel, age 63, passed away suddenly on February 23, 2021. She was born on October 17, 1957 in Brooklyn, New York to David and the late-Margaret Kegel. As an astounding career-driven woman, Kathleen worked first as a registered nurse at St. Vincent’s Hospital. She obtained her B.S.N. at Hunter College, and then her law degree at St. John’s University. She was admitted to the NY State Bar in 1995 passing on her first attempt. She worked at Schiavetti Geisler Corgan as a lawyer, and then became a claims examiner at FOJP. She is survived by her two daughters, Emma and Olivia, her father David, her two brothers Kevin and Michael, and nephew, Kevin Jr. Kathleen was a devoted mother, who absolutely adored her children, always supporting them in their academic and creative endeavors. She was a wonderful cook and always encouraged sit down dinners with her children every night, a memory they will treasure with them always. She was a hard worker all through her life, attending night classes to become a lawyer while working at St. Vincent’s during the day. Kathleen was a remarkable woman, who opened her heart to raising two beautiful girls from China. She will be missed immensely by the lives she touched and the children she raised.
