Kathleen T. (McElroy) Smith, age 72, passed away on Friday, August 12, 2022 at AccentCare Hospice in Oak Creek, WI.
“Mima” to her grandkids and “Cally” to her family, she was born on May 28, 1950 in Glasgow, Scotland. She was the daughter of the late Dennis and Annie (Aidulis McFarlane) McElroy.
On April 8, 1972, Kathy was united in marriage to Gerald Smith at St. Aloysius, Springborn, Glasgow. Their union was blessed with 50 years together and three wonderful daughters. In 1973, they made the United States their home. However, throughout her husband’s military career, Kathy traveled worldwide.
Throughout her life, Kathy held a variety of professional positions. She primarily worked as a Property Manager, ending her career with retirement from Hughes Properties in 2012.
She enjoyed sewing, knitting and interior decorating. Kathy loved gardening and often spent time in her garden admiring her flowers. She loved all genres of music and especially loved making up silly songs. An avid Chicago Bulls fan, she was not fond of the New York Knicks.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Gerald; her daughters, Melissa (Lance) Woods and Paige (Carlos) Esquivel; her son-in-law, Anthony McPeak; her grandchildren, Tiffany Fonda, Nicole Garcia, Joseph Woods, Jacob Esquivel, Justin Esquivel, Ian Woods, Alexander Esquivel; her great-grandchildren, McKenna Conrad, Roman Garcia, Kinsley Esquivel, Nicholas Garcia, Eden Garcia, and soon-to-be baby boy, Esquivel due in September; her siblings, Ann McPeak and Dennis (Kim) McElroy.
