Kathy Jean Pack

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Kathy Jean Pack, who left this world peacefully on October 10, 2025, at the age of 79. Born on June 27, 1946, in North Carolina, Kathy was a beloved soul who touched the lives of many throughout her years in Gastonia.

Kathy dedicated much of her working life to the retail sales industry, where her warmth and dedication were felt by both customers and colleagues alike in her role within the stockroom. She was known for her kind heart, laughter, and a spirit that lit up every room she entered.

A loving wife, Kathy spent her life alongside her devoted husband, Kenneth Pack. She was a proud mother to her son, Keith Pack, and her daughters, Sarah Greene and Crystal Pack. Kathy's family also extended to her cherished daughter-in-law, Leigh Pack, and son-in-law, Brian Greene. Her brother, Eddie Stroupe, and sister, Crystal Stroupe, shared a bond with her that was strong and enduring. Kathy was adored by her grandchildren: Kaelyn Thomas, Taylor Hilderbran, Catherine Greene, and Jacob Pack, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

Kathy will be remembered not only for her nurturing spirit but also for her resilience in the face of life's challenges. She embodied love and compassion, leaving behind a legacy of kindness.

As we remember Kathy Jean Pack, let us cherish the memories we hold dear and celebrate the extraordinary life she lived, touching hearts and spreading joy to those around her. Her light will forever shine in the lives she has enriched.
