Kathy Lynn Nardone

KATHY LYNN NARDONE departed this life at her residence on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. Born on February 14, 1952, in Wheeling, West Virginia, Kathy was a daughter of George C. and Anna Lish Folmar. A graduate of Triadelphia High School, Class of 1970, Kathy worked for many years in the retail industry for Hill’s Department Store as a retail clerk. She was known for her candid advice, shared generously and often unsolicited, and for her remarkable gift for storytelling. Kathy’s enchanting tales and infectious laughter will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of hearing them. As a devoted mother, she graciously supported her sons, Emil and Matthew, attending their sporting events and celebrating their achievements with pride. Kathy was also a loving grandmother, adoring her three granddaughters and rejoicing in their milestones, never missing an opportunity to cheer them on from the stands. She was an avid animal lover, finding joy in the companionship of her beloved dog, Jax. Kathy lived a life grounded in her Methodist faith, fostering kindness and compassion in all her endeavors. Her beautiful flower garden reflected her nurturing spirit and deep appreciation for nature. Though a homebody at heart, she created a warm and inviting sanctuary for her family and friends. In addition to her parents, Kathy was preceded in death by her husband, Emil Nardone. Left to cherish her memories are her sons, Dr. Emil (Patricia) Nardone of Vero Beach, FL., and Dr. Matthew (Alissa) Nardone of Weirton, grandchildren Alaire, Atia, and Arah Nardone. Mrs. Nardone’s wish for cremation have been granted. She was cremated at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home Crematory, Weirton. No services are planned. Kathy will be lovingly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her, and her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
