Kathleen Devine

Kathleen E. Devine, 97, of Fort Wayne and formerly of New Paris, passed away peacefully Saturday, September 7.

Kathleen was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many.

She was born January 7, 1922, in Toronto, Canada and emigrated to the United States with her husband Paul, at the end of WWII.

Paul and Kathleen raised their family in their dearly loved communities of Goshen and New Paris.

Kathleen was a woman of deep faith, and a dedicated and passionate volunteer for her parish St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and for Goshen General Hospital.

Kathleen had a fierce and courageous spirit of joy. She was a force of nature in caring for anyone in need, for all she loved and especially for her family.

Kathleen is survived by her sister, Mary O’Neill of Toronto, Canada; three children, Mary Glowaski, Donna Temple and John Devine; 12 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, the newest she joyfully met just one week before her death.

Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband Paul; two sons, Joseph and Michael; her grandson, Daniel and son in-law, Gary Glowaski.

Visitation will be Friday, September 13, 2019, from 10 a.m. until the 11 a.m. funeral mass at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.
