| Published by Today's News Herald from Mar. 26 to Mar. 27, 2025 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Kathryn Anne Camberdella was born on June 6, 1948, in Brooklyn, New York, to Thomas and Patricia (Tyson) Camberdella - the eldest of seven children. After graduating Brentwood High School in 1966, she married Glenn Conroy. The couple honeymooned at Niagara Falls and soon welcomed four children: Lisa, Kim, Kelly, and Glenn Jr, moving to Lake Havasu City in 1974. In 1983, Kathryn and Glenn welcomed their last child, Jaclyn. Kathryn embraced a desert lifestyle filled with family adventures by the lake. During their time in Havasu, they owned several businesses including, but not limited to, The Book Nook, Robin Hood Ice Cream Shoppe, Eagle Realty and Havasu Bakery. Returning to New York in 1986, Kathryn began working at Laidlaw Transportation, as a school bus driver and route coordinator. Raising Jaclyn as a single mother, she became a mother figure to many of Jaclyn's friends, who were drawn to her warm home and delicious cooking. In 2003, Kathryn returned to Arizona, continuing her career at First Student until retiring in 2019. Kathryn lived a life filled with love, adventure, and devotion to family, with a passion for puzzles, quilting, music, and reading, especially Outlander. She shared her intense love of music with her children. Known for her gentle and nurturing spirit, she touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. Kathryn is survived by her children: Lisa (Thad) Eckland, Kim (Steve) Davis, Kelly (Jason) Villanueva, Glenn Jr., and Jaclyn (Michael) McManus; 14 grandchildren (predeceased by Shea Lane Romo); 11 great- grandchildren; and her brothers: James (Karen), Thomas (Sissy), Robert (Linda), and John Camberdella. Kathryn's ashes will be scattered on Lake Havasu, where she can forever bask in the sun and starlit skies. |
