Kathryn C Muller

Born Kathryn Bonanno in Brooklyn, where she graduated from Bay Ridge High School, she often spent summers at her family's vacation home in New Dorp Beach as a girl.

Mrs. Muller relocated to Richmond in 1987, and in 1999, moved to Annadale to live with her son, Joseph, and his family.

A wonderful cook and proud of her Italian heritage, she loved entertaining her family and friends and cooking Italian specialties for them.

Loved ones said the secret to Mrs. Muller's robust and long life was the closeness of her family. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren.

She was a parishioner of St. Clare's R.C. Church, Great Kills.

Her husband of 47 years, Joseph, died in 1993.

In addition to her son, Joseph, surviving are her sister, Letitia (Dede) Muller, and two grandchildren.

The funeral will be Saturday from the Casey McCallum Rice South Shore Funeral Home, Great Kills, with a mass at 9:45 a.m. in St. Clare's Church. Burial will follow in St. Charles Cemetery, Farmingdale, L.I.
