God Bless the memory of Kathy. She was sweet and loved her family very much. We will miss her energy and support she gave her family.
Kathy was one of the cornerstones of the new firm, Cejka Search in the early 80s. She was office manager, bookkeeper, secretary and the go-to person as the company grew and prospered. She was tremendously competent and important every step of the way – a great asset in every way. So sorry she has passed – a great friend and colleague thru the years.
I am so sad to learn of Kathy’s passing. I worked with her for many years at Cejka. She had a wealth of knowledge about the company and was a talented administrator and friend to all. Sincere condolences to her beloved family.
Kathy, we already miss you. You were my mom’s cousin and I hope she was there on the other side waiting to show you all the wonders of wherever you guys are today. I know Aunt Lucille and Uncle Charles would be overjoyed to be with you again as well, and of course your best friend forever Ron. I hope and pray that your transition was painless and you were able to let go knowing that your children and grandchildren will carry the lessons you taught them, forward into future generations of your loving family. I know you’re only as far away as a fond memory, and I pray for the healing and increased love and togetherness of your close family and friends as they remember what a powerhouse you were and as they honor your memory. Love you forever and hope to see you again someday.
Heaven definitely has a new angel now. Kathy was the glue that held Cejka together. I had the pleasure of working with her for ten years and I learned so much from her.
We will all miss you.
Kathy was the matriarch of Cejka Search. Besides being talented beyond belief at her job, she always had an open door and willing heart to listen and help. Cejka would not have been the same without her. I will honored to have known her.
Heaven gained a beautiful angel this past weekend. Kathy was a kind and beautiful person on the inside and out. She always put others before herself and had a contagious personality. Kathy welcomed everyone into the Cejka office and always made sure she had treats available for those of us with a sweet tooth! She was taken from this earth far too soon, though we know she is in a much better place and not suffering. Sending prayers to the family and friends during this tough time. God bless you.
Sorry for your loss,Your family is in our thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏
What a joy it has been to have know Kathy. She and I first met when I began dating her cousin, Mary Ann Valle, in 1961. When we married in 1962, she became a key member of our family, as we made our way through life’s challenges. Having departed this plane before some of us, she will guide the way for those of us t0 follow. Having departed this plane after others of us, she is now enjoying their open, loving arms. RIP, cousin.
Cousin Kathy’s mother, Lucille Bennett, once said of her daughter, “She is no longer a tiny baby. It is such a pleasure to see her growing and changing, but, too, she was so sweet when she was small and helpless. Yesterday we had her dedicated at church, and she was a little lady throughout the service. It was the first time we had taken her to church. I was a little afraid a strange place and so many people would frighten her, but she didn’t mind at a all. We have been trying to teach her to wave, but she would never wave for us. Then, while we were standing up in front during the service, she decided to start waving.” Her parents loved her dearly, and I will always remember our times growing up together–the laughter of playing on swings and the tears from scraped knees. I can still hear her father calling to toddler Kathy as she learned to maneuver the stairs in their home. “Be careful, Dolly”, he would always say. And now, after a long wait, her parents welcome home with open arms their beloved child.
I had the privilege of working with Kathy for 20 years. My first “Fat Friday” with Cejka, I brought White Castles for breakfast. Kathy gave me the approving head nod, and said, “ I knew there was something I liked about you!” She kept me grounded for 20+ years! She was a much loved, much valued, friend, colleague, and blessing to have in my life!!
I am saddened by the news of Kathy passing. It was a privilege to work with her at Cejka Search for many years. She will be missed. Kathy often spoke of her family, especially her grandchildren – always with great pride and affection. My deepest condolences to her family.
Kathy took great care of all of us at Cejka. She went above and beyond always. May she rest in peace.
Kathy was amazing. She knew everything about Cejka there was to know and on the off chance she didn’t…she would find out. My youngest always said Kathy was the boss. Her door was always open and if you needed it closed to she closed it for you and she would listen while you vented and sometimes she’d vent right back. She always spoke of her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids with a smile…she was proud of all them. She was a great colleague and friend! I will miss her very much. My prayers and thoughts are with her family!
Some of my earliest fond memories are of cousin Kathy.. She was so vibrant & fun- she always horsed around with my sisters & I when she would come to visit or when we visited great Aunt Lucille & Uncle Charles, Kathy’s mom & dad. Those memories always make me smile as I remember the fun old days of my youth, when everything seemed simpler & time went slower. All my memories of Kathy & her family are filled with laughter & so much love. I hope there is much laughter & love flowing for you now, Kathy- I hope you’re having a big old time with Aunt Lucille, Uncle Charles, Ronnie & Mom. Please know, Jennifer & Jason, that I am there in spirit with you both today & tomorrow, as you remember & celebrate your Mom’s life, even through the sorrow of not having her here with us anymore.
Love to you both & your families. ♥️
Kathy, was the 1st person I met at Cejka. She was kind, honest and always provided me with sound advice . Great person who will be sorely missed. God bless.
Thinking of the Seitrich family during this trying time. She was a joyful, caring and fun person and I know she will be missed. Prayers of healing during this difficult time.
Jason and Jenny, I was so sorry to learn of your moms passing. We were such good friends and neighbors back in the day on Sulphur Street. We’d help each other out all the time. She would do anything for anybody.
You two are blessed to have had such a great mom, the best!
Prayers for you and your families .
Jason I am so sorry to hear about your mother please accept my sympathy . You and your sister are in my prayers and thoughts .
Jason and Jenny, you have my deepest condolences in the loss of your mom. Kathy was smart, caring, funny, and forthright and we will miss her. If half the U.S. wasn’t between us, we would have been right there with you and I hope at least the small ways we have been able to participate in the grieving process can be of some comfort to you and your families. Through it all, we have the great memories made over a lifetime of love and laughter. Through them, our loved ones are never truly gone. Our hearts are with you.
