Kathy L. Mago (née Ruff) January 15, 1944 – August 29, 2026
She is preceded in death by her parents Albert Ruff and Alfretta Tomlinson Ruff and brother John Ruff. She is survived by daughters, Lisa Henk (Bill) and Kristie Laughley (Charlie); grandchildren, Hunter (Blair), Sydney (Mike), Peyton (Jerrod), Ashlyn, Karly, Audrey, and Caden and two great‑granddaughters, Lyla and Mia.
She was an amazing pianist and organist and an animal lover, especially cats.
In keeping with Kathy’s wishes, there will be no services. She chose to donate her body to the University of Pittsburgh for future medical professionals to learn.
