KATHY SHUMAN

She was born April 11, 1949, daughter of the late Harry and Hilda Myers.

Along with her parents, Kathy was preceded in death by her loving husband, Albert Shuman; a daughter, Nannette; one brother, Charlie Myers; and three sisters, Dru Toland, Irene Trombetti, and Marge Myers.

Kathy worked as the St. John’s Villa from September 1991 until she retired in January 2021. When talking to others that worked with her through the years, many said the same things. She was the most amazing midnight supervisor ever. She cared about the individuals as well as her staff. She was hardworking, caring, kind, and funny. She was knowledgeable and a role model for all. And she always had goodies to give them.

She was a huge Oak Ridge Boys fan; she traveled to concerts as much as she could to see them since 1986. Kathy attended her last concert in Hartville on June 14, she has a wonderful group of friends that she made over the years. A few of them wrote and gave “William Lee Golden”, her favorite man on the planet, a note explaining her fading health. And to her suprise at 2 p.m. he called her to wish her well and that she will be greatly missed at the show that night. Kathy seemed to perk up, got ready and went to the concert. Knowing this was her last outing was bittersweet. Kathy saw all her friends, the Oaks and William Lee in the final week of her life.

Kathy is survived by two sons, Brian (Mia) Shuman of Carrollton and Jeffrey (Tammy) Shuman of Carrollton; four grandchildren, Saraya Shuman, Basia (Cullen) Moore, Haidyn Shuman, and Kolton Shuman; and one great granddaughter, Lela Moore.

Kathy requested there be no services, she wanted her family and friends to know she fought cancer as long as she could, and not to be sad just to remember the good times.
