Kathy Lynn Vest

Kathy Lynn Vest, age 54, passed away on June 12, 2025. She was born on September 2, 1970, in Cleveland, Ohio, to her loving parents, Bill Lee Allen and Rose Ann Benson.

Kathy was the beloved wife of the late Jimmy Donnelly and a devoted mother to Kelly (Greg), Tiffaney (Phil), and Kimberly. She was the cherished grandmother of Sebastian (Jazmin), Hunter, Liberty, Mackenzie, Destiny, Baby Phil, and Serenity, and the proud great-grandmother of Joshua. She is also survived by the father of her children, Jeffrey Vest.

Dear sister of Billy Ray Allen and Melissa Allen, Kathy was also a treasured aunt and a loving friend to many.

Kathy found joy in playing bingo, but nothing meant more to her than being surrounded by family—especially her grandchildren. She was deeply loved, and to so many, she wasn’t just Kathy—she was “Mom.” Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Family and friends are welcome on Monday, June 16, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Slone & Co. Funeral Directors 13115 Lorain Ave. Cleveland, OH 44111.
