Kathryn L. McFarland's Obituary
Kathryn L. McFarland passed away peacefully at home on August 5, 2013, which was the date of her 41st wedding anniversary. She fought an almost 4 year battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband, John, who was her caregiver during her long illness. Kathy is also survived by her daughter, Sara K. McFarland, her son, Scott R. McFarland, her sister, Sarah Boggs, her brothers-in-law, Michael Mannion and William W. McFarland, and her sister-in-law, Nancy K. McFarland. Kathy worked for over 17 years in teaching and management positions with the Peninsula Family YMCA of San Mateo, CA. Before her illness, she was also a certified Pilates instructor and teacher at a private studio in Burlingame. Her life-long interests were music, dancing, exercise, fitness, astronomy, and hiking (especially in the Lake Tahoe area). She will be forever missed by family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested a donation to the American Cancer Society.
