Mary Patricia Kassenbrock

Mary Patricia Kassenbrock, 100, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. She was born on December 9, 1924, in Louisville to the late Louis Ruth and Agnes M. Spalding Kassenbrock.

Mary’s life was one marked by service, dedication, and a deep commitment to her community and faith. She spent the early years of her career as a stewardess for American Airlines, flying the skies for a decade before transitioning into a long and fulfilling career in education. For 25 years, she served as a valued member of the Jefferson and Oldham County public school systems, touching the lives of countless students and colleagues.

Her spirit of volunteerism was equally remarkable. Mary dedicated 25 years of her life to Baptist Health Hospital in LaGrange, where her kindness and generosity made an indelible impact on both patients and staff.

A proud member of several organizations, Mary was an active participant in the Kiwi Club, the Oldham County Historical Society, and a proud alumna of Chi Omega Sorority. She was also a devoted Catholic, first finding spiritual home at St. Gertrude the Great Roman Catholic Church in Sharonville, Ohio, and later at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in LaGrange, Kentucky.

Mary’s legacy is one of service, faith, and community. Her passion for helping others, whether through her work, volunteer efforts, or personal connections, leaves a lasting impression on all who knew her.

Mary is preceded in death by her parents, Louis and Agnes Kassenbrock; and her brother, Charles Kassenbrock.

Mary is survived by her loving family and friends, Ernie Reed, Jerry and Mary Anne Clay, Rob Hancock, Cathy Humbert and Jane Brockman who will forever cherish her memory and the example she set for a life well-lived.

A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Valley of Rest Cemetery in LaGrange, Kentucky.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Baptist Health Hospital in LaGrange or Hosparus in Mary’s memory.

May she rest in peace.
