Obituary of Kathleen Kirchoff

Kathleen M. Kirchoff-Micciche, 63, of Cape May, N.J., passed away suddenly on March 13, 2022. Kathy was born on August 9th, 1958, to James and Mary Jean Connor, in Orange, N.J and went on to graduate from Ridley High School in June of 1976, In 1985, she began to work for the local cable company in Wildwood, N.J., working for a number of companies over the course of her 26 year career including Group W., T.K.R., AT&T, and Comcast. During her time there, she and many of the co-workers became like family, often holding BBQ's, holiday parties, and other events together outside of work. Kathy met the love of her life, Stephen J. Micciche, in 1982 at the local Shop N' Bag in North Cape May, N.J. She quickly became the yin to his yang, and the two went on to balance each other out for the next 40 years of their lives. Kathy had three children -Mark, Jen, and Anthony - , three step-children - Stephen, David, and Michelle - seven grand-children - Shawn, Allie, Brionna, David, Bailey, Brandon, and Bella- and two great-grandchildren - Ava and Arjunah. She dedicated her life to being an indescribable mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was their confidant, inspiration, and best friend. Kathy was driven, positive, optimistic, open-minded, sarcastic, loving, helpful, and tender. She was by their side in every form, supporting them through the worst times, and (loudly) cheering for them during the best times. She was consistently their biggest fan, no matter what. Kathy loved the beach and being surrounded by those she loved - family and friends. She had an infectious laugh, a smile that lit the darkest room, and was genuinely interested in how everyone else was doing. She was selfless to a T. Kathy was predeceased by her parents and then years later by her daughter, Michelle, who passed just after birth, as well as her best friend of 50 years, Alison Kazmark. She is survived by her husband, children, step-children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, as well as various in-laws and numerous nieces and nephews.
