Kathlene Marie Narney Memorial

Memorial Fund for Kathlene Marie Narney.
Her name was Kathlene Marie (Hughes) Narney. Known to her friends and loved ones as “Kitty”, she was born in Akron, Ohio and lived in Ellet (a suburb of Akron) most of her life.
The main thing people would say about Kitty is that she is one of the best mothers in the world, and that she was a mean crocheter. The mother of six daughters, she always bragged about her kids and it was all very well deserved.
My wife shared about how good and fun her mom was when she took all 6 of her girls 4-wheeling. She took them to a friend’s birthday party and there was 4 different 4-wheelers, every girl paired up with someone else and they all went crazy driving it around, Kitty was driving like a maniac on one of them and having fun on the trail and she flipped it and the 4-wheeler landed in a giant mud pit, the entire thing sank in about 5 feet deep and her dad had to pull it out. It was fun because the girls had never really seen the wild side of their mother, and that is the story they tell me all the time.
Another small thing my wife tells me about all the time is that when she would go to the grocery store when the girls were all little, she would make them all hold on to the cart. So she would have 6 little blonde girls holding all over the cart and wander through the store for a couple hours.
Kitty died from a severe strand of a common blood disease MTHFR called Factor-5 positive. She was born with it, but was unaware of it until she gave birth to her last daughter Kimberly. The blood disease had complications in a plethora of ways. She had cervical cancer, liver and kidney failure, multiple open heart surgeries, a couple strokes, and at least 3 dozen small heart attacks. All of these complications were from the blood clotting caused by the blood disease. Even as she fought it hard with every fiber of her being, it was a constant struggle and she finally succumbed to it this morning.
Kitty set an example of living for her daughters. Even though she struggled daily with her disease, she was loving and joyful. She had a ton of hobbies including a deep love of the outdoors; hunting, fishing, trap shooting, camping, hiking, really anything that she could be doing outside. She could crochet like nobody's business. She made so many blankets, hats, and scarves that she has about 20 rubbermaid containers filled to the brim with them. She filled at least 30 books with photos that she has taken over the years as an avid photographer and scrap-booker.
Kitty leaves behind her husband (Lee), six daughters (Stephanie, Melissa, Rebecca, Courtney, Elizabeth, and Kimberly) and five grandchildren (Zooey, EmmyLou, AnnaLee, Nicholas, and Evelyn.) She has a 6th grandchild due in July. She is survived by her mother, father, and her brother. She was a stay at home mom.
And now today her children are asking for assistance to cover her simple burial costs of $5,000.
