Kathleen Ann Bealle was born April 30, 1949 the second of four children to the late Amentine and John Simpson.
She was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and educated in the Philadelphia Public School System.
Kathy, as she was affectionately known, worked as an armed security guard and at Whitman’s Candy Factory during her professional career.
She loved music; Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Temptations, The Four Tops and many more. Her love for music was only eclipsed by her love of dancing. Kathy always loved going out with her siblings and friends to dance the night away.
Kathy had a smile that lit up a room. She was also a strong, stubborn, independent woman who loved the Lord. She always made sure her children were loved, safe and well taken care of. Kathy wanted nothing but the best for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She worked hard to make sure they got the best.
Kathy was preceded in death by her granddaughter Angela Veneziale-Bealle.
She leaves behind; one sister: Carol Young, two brothers: John Simpson and Joseph Simpson, two children: Beatrice I. Bealle and Ernest O. Bealle, three grandchildren: Candace S. Bealle, Michael Armstrong Jr. and Dylonn Veneziale-Bealle. Two great-grandchildren: Patricia A. English and Solara T. Armstrong, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
