Obituary for Kathleen Ann Shaw
BANTAM - Kathleen Ann (Campbell) Shaw, 60, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 29, 2019. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert W. Shaw, who passed in 2011, with whom she was married for 28 years.
Kathy was born in Greenwich on May 8, 1958, daughter of Maureen (McCullough) Campbell and the late Edward Joseph Campbell Jr. She was raised in Buffalo, NY, York, PA, and eventually in Fairfield, CT, where she graduated from Andrew Warde High School. She attained her Associate’s Degree in Architecture from Norwalk Community College. She most recently worked at R. Derwin’s Clothiers since 2004.
She was deeply devoted to her family, adored by everyone who met her, and made a lasting impact on the lives of family, friends, and strangers with her enormous heart and compassionate nature. She was a walking encyclopedia, an amazing story teller, and had the most contagious laugh. She was also an avid lover of hummingbirds and dachshunds. She was lovingly known as Marmzee and Gram by her family.
She is survived by her three daughters, Jessica Pietrosanti, Kimberly Zywno, and Courtney Shaw, her sons-in-law Thomas Pietrosanti and Zbigniew (Ziggy) Zywno, her beloved grandchildren Isabella and William Pietrosanti, and Noah Santiago. She also leaves behind her mother Maureen (McCullough) Campbell, her siblings Stewart, Russell, Jacqueline, Douglas, and Jeffery and their families, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and a loving extended family, including the R. Derwin’s Clothiers family. She is also survived by her adored dog, Abby.
