The Molinari/Nolan Families and her many friends mourn the loss of Kathleen Molinari. Fondly known as “Burke”, she died peacefully after a courageous battle of lung disease in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on November 4, 2020.
Born on September 22, 1937 in New York City, she was the beloved wife of Vincent S. Molinari. Katie and Vinny had a very active life together, traveling the world with family and friends, and splitting their time between NYC, Bradley Beach, NJ, and sunny Ft. Lauderdale.
Loved by all, she is survived by her husband, children, Louis Molinari and wife Linda; Florence Foti; her 4 grandchildren Alycia Foti and fiancé José Badia, Kristin Molinari Cohen and husband Jeff, Robert Foti, and Vincent Molinari, and her sisters, Dorothy Collier and Nancy Nolan.
We are all kinder and more grateful because of her. Her greatest gift was her love and acceptance of everyone she encountered. She was the cheerful beacon that you could count on to be a good part of your day.
She will be interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, 200 West Copans Road, Pompano Beach, FL. on November 9, 2020.
