Kathleen Easton Maher-Szuma, Katey to her friends and family, was called home to God last week. Katey was 47 years old. Born in Boston, MA on Jan. 27, 1973 to Richard Joseph and Avery Poor Maher, Katey graduated from UCLA and subsequently from the University of Notre Dame Law School before moving to Michigan to begin her family and legal career. Katey is survived by her two amazing children, Veronica and Jack Szuma, by her ex-husband Alan Szuma, and by her brothers Richard and Shep Maher. God has now lifted the heavy cross that Katey carried for so many years, and set her next to Him in peace and repose. Family will receive friends Thursday 2-4pm at A.J.
