Kathleen Gomprecht passed away peacefully on March 28, 2025 at her longtime Bronxville home at 99 years old.
Kate was the daughter of Maurice and Mary Welch and spent her early years in Mahopac, New York. She attended NYU – Bellevue Nursing School in New York City, where she graduated with her nursing degree in 1946. It was there she met the love of her life, Bob Gomprecht, who was a medical student at NYU. They married in 1946 and subsequently moved to Bronxville. After raising her five children, Kate, never one to be idle, studied real estate and received her realtor’s license. She worked for years at various Bronxville Real Estate Agencies including Deed, Ragette and Bronxville-Ley.
Throughout her life, Kate was an amazing athlete. Her sports were varied, but she loved golf, bowling and swimming and excelled at them all.
She had many friends of all ages with whom she enjoyed a game of bridge, rummy 500, canasta as well as many laughs.
Kate tirelessly volunteered with causes throughout her years, including Misericordia Hospital Auxiliary, the Fordham Prep Mother’s Club, Saint Joseph’s Church and at multiple New York Corntoss events for ALS-TDI.
She is predeceased by her husband, Bob, her son, Paul Gomprecht, her sister, Gloria Frinder and her brother Bud Welch.
She is survived by her loving children:Robert (Alanna) Gomprecht, Jane Gomprecht, Ann Skrzypczak, Ellen Gomprecht (Doug) Reich her brother, Dick Welch and her daughter-in-law, Lisa Blenderman Gomprecht.
In addition, she is survived by her adoring grandchildren : Robert (Paula) Gomprecht, Christopher (Diana) Gomprecht, Amy Wiegand, John (Kenena) Skrzypczak,Christopher (Mary) Reich and Kyle and Kevin Reich. And her dear great grandchildren:Kristina and Matthew Gomprecht, Luke, Charlotte and Andrew Gomprecht, Kate Wiegand, Austin, Greyson and Jack Skrzypczak.
She will be remembered by all who knew her for her grace, kindness, her calm and giving nature, competitive and fun spirit, great sense of humor, her sports pointers in technique given to her grandchildren at various times and her beautiful smile – which she kept until the end.
