Honorary Irishman of the Year 2006, Kathy Janeczek addresses the crowd at the  Chamber's St. Patrick Day's Breakfast

On
September 3, 2009, the City of Kingston and the community at large, including the A.O.H., lost a good friend. She was not of Irish heritage, though she was named Honorary Irishman of the year in 2006 by the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce. She was genuine, caring, ethical, and loyal. She was dedicated to her family, her community, her job, her friends, and her faith.
Kathy Janeczek was devoted to her city,
Kingston, where she was born and raised. Following her graduation from John A. Coleman High School in 1972, she attended Ulster County Community College and, in 1979, received a Bachelor of Science Degree in political science from SUNY Brockport. She had several positions at George Washington University School of Business and Public Management. In 1991, she earned a Masters Degree in higher education administration from George Washington University and continued her studies in its doctoral education program until 1993.
In 1995, Kathy returned to her much-loved hometown as the director of the Kingston Office of Community Development. In November 1996, she was appointed Kingston City Clerk. This could easily have been a nine-to-five job but Kathy would never have been happy with that. She was a tireless volunteer and served as liaison for many community groups. It was in this capacity that we, the A.O.H., got to know her as she smoothed the way for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the Hooley on the
Hudson (tm). She was a very good friend to all of us and we miss her.
Kathy’s love for her community was exhibited through her desire to work in many diverse ways in numerous activities where she touched hearts and minds. A member of several local advisory boards, she was also a hands-on volunteer for the Clinton Avenue Methodist Church soup kitchen, the Hudson Valley AIDS auction, the Kingston Chapter of the NAACP, and the John A. Coleman High School Hall of Fame committee. In her much too short fifty-five years of life, she gave more than many of us do in a much longer life span. She lived her life passionately and intensely, and was an inspiration to all.
With a deep sense of loss, but pride in knowing her, we dedicate the 2010 St. Patrick’s Day parade to the memory of our dear friend and loyal supporter, Kathy Janeczek.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis. (May her faithful soul be at God’s right hand)
