Kathleen G. Everett, retired educator, church member

Kathleen G. Everett, 75, of Long Neck, and North Myrtle Beach, S.C., formerly of Newark, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family Sunday, Sept. 3, 2023.

Kathy was born in San Francisco, Calif., and was raised in Newark, daughter of the late Edward F. Gliwa, M.D. and the late Edna (Leaming) Gliwa. She had a 30-year career with the Christina School District working as a teacher and dean of students, retiring from Newark High School. Kathy was a longtime member of First Presbyterian Church in Newark and current member of Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church in North Myrtle Beach.

Kathy will always be remembered for being selfless, for the countless lives she touched, and for her unwavering love of her husband and family. With her husband always by her side, she enjoyed golfing, boating, traveling, going to the beach (especially Cape May), spending time with her dear friends, and most of all spoiling her four beloved grandchildren.

She is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, James W. Everett; two children, Courtney R. Kelly (John) of Oak Hill, Va., and Todd S. Everett (Beth) of Middletown; four grandchildren, Arin and Ashley Kelly, and Dylan and Raegan Everett; and brother, Edward F. Gliwa Jr. (Agata) of Newark. 

Services will be held privately. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions in Kathy’s name to Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 277, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29597; or Tunnell Cancer Center, c/o Beebe Medical Foundation, 902 Savannah Road, Lewes, DE 19958.
