Kathleen M. Jones Darfler

Kathleen Jones Darfler born March 18,1948 passed away on March 6, 2025.

The youngest of eight children, 7 raised to adulthood, Kathy grew up close to both nieces and nephews who were like siblings to her. Her oldest nephews, Gordie Jones and Eric (Ric) Morgan were always referred to by her as #1 and #2.

Kathy graduated from Romulus High School in 1966 along with her best classmates, many of whom remain close friends today.

These were her happiest working years mostly due to being able to work alongside her lifelong best friend Debi Davis and the rest of her treasured 'Davis' family. Everyone should be so lucky to work with people you truly love.

Their daughter Caitlin was born in 1983. Never was a child as treasured as Caitlin was. She filled Kathy’s and Jim's hearts with pride from her first breath. Watching her grow up was their biggest joy.

Kathy's family grew in the last decade with the addition of her daughter-by-choice Bernadette Brock. Bernadette, husband Alfred and their children Ella and Grayson gave Kathy the grandchildren she'd always wanted.

Interest in local politics filled her later years. Kathy was proud to call Wayne home for the more than forty years.

Greyhounds and their people filled over 25 years of her life. Many of her closest friends came from the greyhound community.

Kathy was predeceased by siblings Gordon, Jean, Shirley, Ray, Jack and Patrick.
