Katherine Andrea Bair 1957-2023

HOWLAND — Katherine Andrea Bair, beloved mother and bubbe, died peacefully in her home Tuesday, May 30, 2023.

Born May 19, 1957, to Stella and George Bair, Katherine grew up with a fierce love for humanity and books.

She was a perpetual student who lived her life learning and sharing her love of learning with her family and students during her tenure as a teacher at St. Mary Middle School in Warren and Immaculate Conception in Youngstown.

She found joy in organizing many bike-athons to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and working at the Boys & Girls Club of Youngstown. Her solace was in nature and passed on her love of camping to her children and grandchildren.

Katherine’s greatest love was her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents and by a brother, George Albert.

She is survived by her sister, Mary Elizabeth; her four children, Isaac, Elizabeth, Emily and Ann; and her five grandchildren, Rachael, Carson, Stella, Phillip and Olive, who were all her love and her light.

The family requests, in lieu of flowers, donations be made, in her name, to the Boys & Girls Club of Youngstown, http://www.bgcy.org/, or to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, http://www.stjude.org.

“May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her!”

Arrangements have been entrusted to The Shriver-Allison-Courtley-Weller-King Funeral Home. Friends and family may view this obituary and share memories and condolences at www.shriverallisoncourtleyfuneralhome.com.
