FAIRPORT: With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to Kathe Hagreen, a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and cousin. Kathe passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, remaining a fighter until her very last breath. She left us on July 15, 2025, surrounded by her loving children.
Kathe was raised primarily in the Rochester, NY area. As her children grew, she dedicated herself to being a stay-at-home mom and later became a part-time bus driver, followed by many years in sales with US Foods, retiring in 2008. During her retirement, she cherished traveling and spending quality time with her family, whom she adored more than anything. She enjoyed teasing and spoiling her grandchildren, spending precious moments with each of them individually. She was the heart behind our annual family trips, renting a large beach house for joy and laughter.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Rick Hagreen; companion Robert Young; parents Hugh and Catharine Marks; sisters Maryanne Campbell and Patricia Stevens; sister-in-law Ann Marks, and sons-in-law John Filipski and Jeffrey Pieters.
