Obituary
It's with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kathleen Claudia McAllister, on August 10, 2024, surrounded by loved ones, at the age of 80 years old. Kathleen was born on November 14, 1943, in Oakland California, to Irving Lawrence Johnson and Everil Luke Johnson. She lived in the Bay Area most of her life and graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Social Work. She married the love of her life, Paul McAllister on August 22,1964, and welcomed their first daughter Marcy, in October 1968, and their second daughter Tracy in June 1971. Kathy worked for Hewlett Packard for many years, retiring at 58. Paul and Kathy lived in their San Jose home for 29 years before moving to Gilroy in 1997, where they started an exciting new chapter of life on the "farm." Life on the farm brought with it beautiful views and fun family get-togethers, pool parties, and holiday celebrations, of which she was a gracious and hard-working host. Many great times were had by all! Kathleen was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and aunt who will be greatly missed.
