On September 29, 2010, of Sicklerville. Age 87. Beloved wife of the late Armedio. Devoted mother of Barbara DiFalco Pete and Armedio Petolicchio, Jr. Janice. Loving grandmother of Dawn Marie Palermo, Jr. George, Nicholas DiFalco Lynda and Michael Petolicchio, and great-grandmother of Nicholas Amaday DiFalco.

Katharine worked for many years as a meat cutter at Oscar Mayer and also at Wackenhut in the Philadelphia Airport. Katharine passed away peacefully with her granddaughter by her side. In the days and hours before, she was surrounded by her loving family.

The life of Katharine was one of joy, kindness, laughter and love. The treasured memories of her as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother will live on in those she leaves behind. She guided her family with strength, wisdom, and most of all, love. Some of our fondest memories are of times spent around the table, enjoying her amazing gravy, that to this day, no one can match. Throughout all of her years, she was happiest when surrounded by those she loved. Her love of life inspires us all to look up to the sun and smile. She will be deeply missed by all whose lives she has touched and will be remembered always as the cherished mother, grandmother and great-grandmother she was.
