Katherine Sundberg Obituary 1952-2020
On Sunday, January 12, 2020, Katherine Ann Sundberg, loving wife, mother, and
grandmother, residing in Langhorne, PA, passed away at the age of 67 in Newtown, PA,
from pancreatic cancer.
Kathy was born on November 25, 1952, in Sopron, Hungary, to Frank and Elizabeth
Nagy. She first immigrated with her family to Vienna, Austria, and then the United
States in 1959. She grew up in Queens, NY, and attended PACE University. With New
York as her springboard, she traveled the world working for KLM Airlines. On December
18, 1977, she married her soulmate John Erik Sundberg after a brief courtship. They
made their first home in Long Island, NY, before moving to Yardley, PA. They raised
two daughters, Katrina and Jessica. Kathy worked various positions in the Pennsbury
School District and Princeton University.
Kathy's passion was her family. She applied her seemingly endless energy and hustle
into caring, assisting, and advocating for others. She was known for her quick wit, her
infectious smile, and most importantly, her loving heart. She was perfectly unapologetic
for who she was, and is forever an unforgettable woman.
Kathy was preceded in death by her mother, Elizabeth Nemeth, and her father, Frank
Nagy. She is survived by her husband John E. Sundberg; two daughters and
sons-in-law Katrina and Jordan Minno, and Jessica and Matthew Zofchak;
grandchildren Ellie, Axel, and Amelia; sister Eva Mendola; brother Frank Nagy; several
cousins; nephews Peter and Bryan, and niece Elizabeth.
