Kathleen Fabish

 Kathleen Marie Fabish, 100, Johnstown, passed away peacefully in hospice care February 24, 2025. Born March 6, 1924 to Earl and Anna Marie (Geiser) Faust. Preceded in death by her first husband Robert Emmet Lynch and second husband, Frank John Fabish, brothers John (Jack) Foust (Mona), Robert Faust (Mary Jane), Donald Faust (Janice), William Faust (Helen), Fred Faust (Mary Jo), and sister, Betty Norcross (Arthur). Kathleen is survived by her two sons, Patrick Michael Lynch (Judi) and Timothy John Lynch (Dona), grandchildren Mark Lynch (Missy), Kathleen Dobak (John), Eric Lynch and Rachael Lynch, great grandchildren Michael Lynch, Marie Price, Trevon Pontes, Aliyah Hendrix and Erica Hendrix, and several nieces and nephews.

“Kay” (“Deanie” to her immediate family) was an avid knitter, crocheter, and quilter. She was a charter member of both the Log House Quilters Guild of the Johnstown Community Arts Center and the regional Highmark People Able to Lend Support (PALS) Quilt Club. Her quilts won numerous awards, including Best of Show, at many Northeast shows. What brought Kay the most happiness and satisfaction, though, was quilting personal lap quilts and knitting chemo hats and shawls which she donated, literally by the thousand, to local charities.

At Kay’s request, there will be no calling hours or graveside service, a gathering for friends and family will be announced at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association.
