Kathleen Lopez, 74, of La Porte, Indiana, passed away Tuesday July 26, 2022 at Northwest Health-La Porte, surrounded by her family.

She was born June 18, 1948 in Michigan City, Indiana, the daughter of Bernard Neveroski and Betty (Kaiser) Neveroski.

 

A lifelong resident of the area, Kathleen worked in the x-ray department at Howmet until her retirement in 2010.  Over the years, she loved taking her children and grandchildren to the beach and playing weekly Euchre games with her brother, sister and brother-in-law.  She also traveled with them to such places as Las Vegas and New York, where she became a Mets fan. Kathleen enjoyed listening to Barbara Streisand and Gladys Knight and went to an Elvis concert at Notre Dame with her family in 1976, less than a year before his death. And boy, did she love Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory", even going to California for a taping of the show!  Her greatest joy, though, was her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

 

Kathleen is survived by her daughter, Lisa Marie (Mike) McCoy of La Porte, IN; brother, Mike Neveroski of La Porte, IN; sister, Sherry (Randy) Moss of Michigan City, IN; six grandchildren, Tom Lopez, Jimmy (Kelsey) Cappis, Shannon Hanske, Jason Bradburn, Brittney McCoy, Cody McCoy; seven great-grandchildren, Yazmin Lopez, Jaylynn Cappis, Jeffrey Staples-Lopez, Landon Staples-Lopez, Brody Staples-Lopez, Marshall Hanske, Lorenzo Almaraz; 2 great-great-grandchildren, Miles and Myra Koester; and nieces and nephews.

 

She was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Jeffery Lopez and her sister, Patricia Siebe.

 

Arrangements are being entrusted to Haverstock Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 602 Maple Ave., La Porte, IN.  Service and burial will be private.
