Kathy was born in Clarksburg, WV, on October 31, 1951, a daughter of the late Charles Ray Harold and Shirley Cutright-Harold Lowe.

Kathy is survived by her husband of 47 years, Antonio R. Romano who resides at their home in Bridgeport.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one sister, Carol Harold.

Kathy helped provide for her family by working various positions at local banks for over 30 years until forced to retire due to illness. Kathy was well known for her lively personality and always greeted everyone with a smile.  For 15 years, she fought cancer – her strength, courage, and determination were an inspiration to friends, family and others battling the debilitating disease.  She never lost her compassionate spirit for others despite her physical and emotional challenges. Her strong Christian faith was an inspiration to many.
