Kathleen A. Banchero, “Kathy”, age 80, of Farmington, passed away August 3, 2021.

Kathy was born August 28, 1940, in Detroit, MI, the daughter of the late Audrey and Robert Yeagley.

She is the loving mother of Laura Banchero (Ryan Fleur) and Steven Banchero (Shannon); beloved grandmother of Robert and Anna Fleur and Joshua and Luke Banchero; dearest sister of the late Nann Tyler and Ted Yeagley.  She is also survived by her devoted friend and caregiver, Alan MacLeod.

Kathy taught elementary school for various school districts but left the profession to raise her children.  Later in life she managed school kitchens for Farmington Public Schools for over 25 years.  She was also an avid reader and movie goer.  As an expert needlewoman, she sewed, quilted, knitted, crocheted and embroidered. Her most enduring legacy is her steadfast devotion to her family.
