Kathy Parisi Kidd

August 21, 1962 – May 8, 2025

Kathy P. Kidd age 62 passed away peacefully on May 8th surrounded by her husband and children. She was born August 21, 1962, in Ridgewood New Jersey to Salvatore (Sal) and Antionette (Toni) Parisi who proceeded her in death along with her brother Larry. She is survived by her husband Clay; sons Adam Kidd (Taylor), Daniel Kidd (Jennie) and daughter Jessica Bianchi (Alex); brother Paul Parisi (Cathy) and 7 grandchildren; Xayver, Jaxson, Maddox, Jack, Clayton, Harper and Teagan.

 Kathy loved her family more than anything in the world. She found joy in the simple, shared moments-Sunday family dinners, beach vacations and silly game nights. These were more than just activities to her; they were sacred traditions that brought her loved ones together.

 For Kathy, family unity wasn’t just important, it was essential. Her kitchen was the heart of the home, where she expressed her love through the meals she so joyfully prepared. Cooking wasn’t just a task, it was her way of nurturing connection, healing rifts, and celebrating life’s joys. To Kathy, being close to one another, physically and emotionally, was the true meaning of happiness. 

Kathy also had a quiet wisdom that touched everyone around her. Whether it was a serious life decision or a small daily dilemma, she always had an answer- or at the very least, the perfect perspective to offer. Her door and her heart were always open to those in need of guidance. She gave her advice freely and lovingly, never judging, always understanding. Her words, like her meals, nourished the soul.

 Kathy will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her love, warmth, and wisdom left an imprint on every life she touched. As we remember her, let us carry forward the values she held so dear: keep your loved ones close, cherish every moment together, and never forget to say "I love you."
