Kathryn E. Saal, 74, of Stuart, Florida passed away on Saturday, June 23, 2018 at her home surrounded by family.

Born in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, she resided in Stuart, Florida for 38 years, coming from Oxford, Connecticut and Warwick, New York.

On August 8, 1964, Kathryn married her High School Sweetheart, Karl Saal. They were together for 60 years, married for 54 years. She was a graduate of Orange County Community College in Middletown, New York, and a longtime member of First United Methodist Church of Stuart where she once served as President of the Women's Ruth Circle.

She was an incredibly kind, loving, and strong woman. She fought breast cancer for almost 20 years and lived every moment to the fullest. She was always 100% supportive of her children as they pursued their dreams. They knew she was always there to listen, encourage, and love them through everything, as she helped them believe that they could do anything they wanted to do. She adored her grandchildren and went to as many gymnastics and karate competitions, piano recitals, and basketball games as she could, and was so excited to be recently introduced to her first great grandchild.

Kathryn is survived by her husband Karl; daughters Kimberly Griffith and her husband Jim of Orlando, Florida, and Patricia Costa and her husband Jeff of Winter Garden, Florida; Granddaughters Chelsea Barrows of Woodstock, Georgia, and Brittany Bramwell of Winter Haven, Florida; grandsons Cameron and Ben Costa; great grandson Cohen Barrows; and sisters Mary Demarest of Warwick, New York, and Norma Longstreth of Orlando, Florida.

A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 PM on Wednesday June 27, 2018 at First United Methodist Church of Stuart, 1500 S. Kanner Highway, Stuart, FL 34994.
