Kathleen D. Steinman Terpening, 86 of Route 31, Weedsport, passed away Sunday, November 27, 2022 in Auburn Community Hospital. Born September 10, 1936, she was the daughter of the late Harold and Katherine Farmer Steinman. A Weedsport High School Graduate, Class of 1955, Kathleen was employed for many years as an Account Clerk with R.E. Dietz. She enjoyed camping, following her favorite NASCAR driver, Kyle Busch and watching all sports, especially when her children and grandchildren were involved. Above all, Kathleen loved going out to eat, playing the slot machines, and spending time with her family. She also loved her canines, especially Patches, Bailey, Bentley, Chloe, and Rumor! Holidays were her favorite time of year. It was a great opportunity for her to get dressed up, shop immensely, and provide gifts for all. Kathleen never wanted to miss a mass at St. Joseph's Church in Weedsport.
In addition to her loving husband of 66 years, Harold Terpening, she is survived by two children, Tammy Lipiska and her husband David of Weedsport and Dennis Terpening of Syracuse; grandchildren Christopher, Michael and Bridget Terpening, Renee Munn (Nicholas), Matthew Lipiska (Caitlin) and Jenna Fraser (Mark); great grandchildren Mallory and Tucker Munn, and Meredith and Mark Fraser; one brother Daniel Steinman; and several nieces and nephews.
Including her parents, Kathleen is predeceased by her siblings Mitzie Mosher, Robert Steinman, Jerry Steinman and Maureen Sweeney.
