Honeoye: At age 66, Kathleen passed away on Thursday, October 21, 2021 at her home in Honeoye. She was born in Philadelphia, PA to the late Jacques and Rita Stiegelman. Kathleen is predeceased by her son, Morgan. Survived by her brother; Jack C. Stiegelman of Palm City, FL.
Originally from Pennsylvania, she grew up in the Philadelphia area, then later moved to Allentown as an adult. In 2006 she relocated to New York, first to Cohocton, then later settled in Honeoye in 2008, where she lived in a lovely home overlooking a spectacular view of Honeoye Lake.
Kathleen was a talented artist, known to many in the area for her expressive paintings, which were usually of mixed media and alive with vivid color, texture, and movement. She had a unique style that revealed her own imagination, vision, and truth. She participated in art events such as Artizann’s “Artist in Action on the Front Porch,” the Naples Open Studio Trail, and the former Springwater Fiddlers Fair. She often said that she was born to paint, proven by her legacy of so many beautiful paintings.
There will be a celebration of life for Kathleen Armitage on Sunday, November 14th, 2021 from 1-3 PM at Mill Creek Café, 8705 Main St, in Honeoye, NY. To share a memory or a condolence, please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com.
