Birth date: Jan 13, 1959 Death date: Sep 8, 2015
Kathleen J. Greco, 56 of Leesburg, Virginia passed on Tuesday, September 8, 2015, after a brief illness. Kathy was born Tuesday, January 13, 1959, in Norristown, PA. She was a daughter of the late Robert Shelly and Margaret Shell Read Obituary
Kathy was my manager for two years about 14 years ago. She was exceptionally smart, organized, and really knew how to manage a complex project! At the same time, she was always humble, never calling attention to herself, but allowing others to be in the spotlight. I learned so much from Kathy that has been valuable to me in my career. I never got to know her much personally, but I was blessed to have been able to work for and learn from her.
There are no words I can say that will take the pain and grief away from losing someone so very special to so many people whose lives she touched over the years and will continue to touch. Her spirit and energy will live on through a photo, story, movie, flower, sunset, sunrise, hike, the grand kids, book, craft project, recipe, and so much more. I feel fortunate she was a part of the Greco family and made each of our lives richer. She will be missed by many but especially her daughters, grand children, mom, brother and other close family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you,
Love Aunt Donna, Uncle Larry, Laura, Nathan, Matthew, and Jared.
I am Kathy's co-worker at IBM. I worked with her for about 3 years on an IBM project in DC which we completed very recently (June 2015). I (with other IBMers) was always on a conference calls with Kathy from 9:30 AM till 10:00 AM - everyday. She always laughed at the jokes we made even our worst jokes. In all my years with IBM, she was one of the nicest person I worked with. All those time that we were on calls, she never told anyone of us that she was fighting this horrible disease. We are all so sad that we lost her. Kathy was a very nice and brave person.
My thoughts and prayers are with Kathys family. I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew Kathy through book club and always enjoyed being around her. She will be terribly missed.
