Kathleen Margaret Twyford, known by most as Kathy, transitioned from this earth on December 22, 2024. She was in her home, surrounded by her daughters. Kathy was born on April 27, 1952. She was raised by her mother and father, Connie and Walter Gibbons, in Brooklyn NY. Kathy married her college sweetheart Robby Twyford in 1973 and had 3 beautiful girls. She graduated from Marymount College and continued to Brooklyn College, where she earned her masters degree in early childhood education.
Kathy became one of the first Pre-K teachers in NYC and worked at PS 32 for many years. She loved her job. Once retired, she privately tutored and cared for several children who became like family. Kathy was the best grandmother to her 2 grandchildren, who adored her.
Kathy was preceded in death by her parents and her late husband. She is survived by her daughters Vanessa, Samantha (Mike) and Allison (Forrest) and her grandchildren, Troy and Rylie.
Kathy will be remembered for her boundless generosity, compassion, love, and ability to forgive. She touched the lives of countless friends and family members, offering support and kindness to all who knew her. Kathy welcomed everyone into her heart and her family with open arms.
Kathy, we are going to miss you. You always made our family feel so welcome and at ease with your calming presence. You were a beautiful lady, inside and out. Love to the Twyfords

I was blessed to have the chance to meet you and know you for a short time, and it took only matter of seconds for me to see that you were a light in the world. We bonded and I felt a special connection to you. Of course your family is amazing. You always had a special place in my heart. Hearing of this news instantly made me cry. God bless you and keep you, very special lady. Unforgettable.
With Love,
Bernadette
Kathy was such a warm delightful soul with genuine sweetness.
I wish God hadn’t taken her so soon. Her spirit and brightness will be terribly missed by her loving daughters, family and all she welcomed as a friend.
May she fly with the angels and may the Lord watch over her.
My sincere prayers and deepest condolences,
🤍🕊️

Kathy you were like my older sister. I have so many wonderful memories I can’t choose just one. I know in the past few years we lost touch but know you, the girls and the rest of the family are always in my heart and in my prayers. All my love Forever
