Kathleen Ann Maniaci

Mrs. Kathleen Ann "Kathy" Maniaci (Law), age 76, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2026, in Fort Myers, Florida. Born on February 16, 1950, in Detroit, Michigan. Kathy lived a life filled with love, family, and cherished memories.

Kathy graduated from Allen Park High School in the class of 1968 and pursued further education in cosmetology and as an X-ray technician for a brief time. She later dedicated herself to being a stay-at-home mom, a role she embraced wholeheartedly.

Kathy shared 56 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Ronald Maniaci. Together, they built a loving family that includes their two daughters, Jeanette Douglas (Brian)and Annette Jenkins (Larry).

Kathy was also the proud grandmother of four grandchildren: Alexa, Elle, Madelyn, and Brendan Jenkins. She is survived by her brother William Law (Judy) and her sister Anne Allen (Joe). Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, William and Ilene Law.

A devout Catholic, Kathy’s faith was an important part of her life. She found joy in collecting Department 56 houses and Disney figurines and had a deep appreciation for music. One of her favorite pastimes was taking rides in classic cars—a simple pleasure that brought her great happiness.

Kathy will be remembered for the warmth she brought to those around her. Her ever-present smile brightened the lives of everyone she encountered. To those who knew her best, she was not only a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend but also a source of unwavering support and love.
