Kathleen Weitzel (nee Bosler) was lead home the early morning of August 4th, 2022.  She was born on July 11, 1955 in Philadelphia, PA and raised in Swarthmore Wood, PA.  She was a graduate of Cardinal O’Hara.  While PA was always home, she spent most of her adult life raising her girls in the suburbs and sweltering heat of Houston, TX.  She worked as an accountant for WS Bellows for the last 32 years where she made her best friendships while being so far from home. 
 
She is preceded in death by her parents Albert and Helen (Huston) Bosler, Brother in-law Marc Feaster, and Grandpup Bruce Weitzel. 
 
She is survived by her daughters Heather Carruthers and Erica Weitzel, Son-in-law Connell Carruthers, grandchildren Elodie and Max Carruthers, siblings Debra Feaster, Al Bosler and sister-in-law Mary Lou Bosler, her nephews Jake Bosler and wife Angela, Luke Bosler, Kyle Bosler, Marc Feaster and Wife Gabrielle, her Great Nephew MJ Feaster, many aunts, uncles, and cousins. 
 
Kathy, as most knew her, loved nothing more than spending time with her daughters, watching Hallmark and Lifetime movies with a good glass of chardonnay, shopping, cooking, or going to explore an antique store or museum with them made her the happiest.  She also loved spoiling her grandkids so much that her own daughter had to hide their Amazon wish lists from her, but don’t worry she had a secret one that would be added to from time to time.  If she wasn’t out and about you could find her reading a book or sewing to help her relax.  
 
She was looking forward to retirement in PA and we are thankful she was able to spend her last weeks up in the area being surrounded by her kids, grandkids, siblings, nephews, aunts, uncles and countless cousins who all came to spend time with her.  

Relatives and friends are invited to her Funeral Service on Friday August 19 at 11 AM at Carr Funeral Home 935 S. Providence Rd. Wallingford. Friends may call after 10AM. Interment private.  Those wishing to join the funeral service virtually, may do so using Zoom with the login credentials below:
