Kathryn Ann Streets (Briscar), 75, of Geneva, Ohio, passed away at home on August 30, 2024. She was born on March 31, 1949, in Cleveland, Ohio, the daughter of Vincent and Mary Agnes Briscar (Stoots).
Kathy was a woman of immense warmth, generosity, and compassion that she freely gave to all that knew her. She lived life with grace, humility, and steadfast love. Her greatest joy was spoiling her grandchildren, sneaking them candy and giving them heartfelt gifts.
Truly a diverse and unique woman, Kathy believed in the magic in life. She encouraged and instilled the importance of imagination through the arts: writing, photography, literature, music and dance. Kathy had a deep love for cinema, having watched every Oscar ceremony and nominated movie for as long as can be remembered, her repertoire of watched films is countless.
Kathy had a passion for sewing and was an accomplished seamstress. She spent countless hours late into the night humming away on her machines, ripping seams, and cutting fabric laid out covering floors and tables. Kathy had an eye for detail and accepted nothing less than exact precision. She masterfully curated a stunning beaded wedding gown, as well as formal dresses.
Kathy loved to bake and be in the kitchen. She made award worthy cakes, intricate cupcakes, pies of every variety, cookies, and breads, while still using the same KitchenAid mixer she received as a wedding gift in 1970.
When outside, Kathy loved to garden. She was involved in the Trumbull Garden club as their youngest member and participated in The Ohio State Master Gardener Program. She had a love for all animals, particularly birds. Kathy always kept her feeders full and joyfully noted the return of the hummingbirds and red-winged blackbirds every year, marking the end of winter.
Kathy hated snow, she much preferred the Carolina beaches, collecting shells, feeding the gulls, and sitting with her toes in the sand with a glass of sweet tea.
She will be so sorely missed, but always deeply cherished.
Kathy is survived by her loving husband, David Streets; her children, Mary, Nathan (Mary), Rachel, and Ryan; her step-children, David (Brenda), and Joanie (Kevin); grandchildren, Autumn, Brier, Chayla, Cierra, Elias, Tristan, Victor, Abby, David, Kate, and Ally; her brothers and sisters, Richard (Rosanna) Briscar, Mary Ellen "Cookie" (Larry) Isom, Donald (Sandy) Briscar, and Judith (John) Manning; and her dear friend, Denise (Robert) Kase and family.
A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
