She shared an extraordinary 74 years of marriage with her loving husband Anthony Mannarino, building a life centered on family, faith, and community. Together they raised their children, Ronald (Sally), John (Laura), Lisa (Scott) Pulleo, and Patrick (Tracey) who were the pride and joy of her life. Her family grew to include nine grandchildren who knew her as Noni; Katie (Aaron) Jones, Jared Mannarino, Chelci (James) Dell, Anthony (Samantha) Pulleo, Matthew Pulleo, Dr. Mitchell Pulleo, Dominic Mannarino, Jillian Mannarino, Dante Mannarino and five great-grandchildren, all of whom were blessed by her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering love.

Katherine was the daughter of James and Antionetta Rimoldi Turconi and was proceeded in death by her parents and sisters Mary (John) Profato, Edith Turconi, brother Aldino (Maryann) Turconi.  Kaye is survived by her brother Joe (Patty) Turconi.

She was a faithful member of St. Monica Catholic Church of the St. Augustine Parish, where she was active in the Prayer Shawl ministry and VSP. Her faith guided her life and was reflected in the compassion and generosity she showed to others. Those who knew her the closest can still hear her saying the Hail Mary.

She was known as an avid and talented cook who expressed her love through the meals she prepared for her family, especially her cookie baking. Kaye’s kitchen was the heart of the home, where countless memories were made around the table with children, grandchildren, and friends.

She will be deeply missed but forever remembered by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her life was a testament to love, faith, family, and friendship, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Franciscan Manor and Advanced Hospice for the compassionate care, kindness, and support they provided to her during the final days of her life.
