Kathryn (Kay) (Lingle) Sink

Kathryn (Kay) Sink 81, of Homer City, was called home to be with the Lord on July 17, 2023; while at St. Andrews Village, from complications of COVID.

Kay was born on November 1, 1941, in Indiana, PA to Harvey and Flora Mae (Ensminger) Lingle. She married the love of her life, Alex (Ben) Sink on July 22, 1960; after meeting on a blind date, enjoying a wonderful courtship and an engagement at the Kintersburg Covered Bridge.

Kay graduated from Laura Lamar High School. She worked at several local businesses beginning with the Waxler Family and ending with CKE.

She was a member of Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church and loved to volunteer with church activities as well as, adding her beautiful voice to the church choir.

Kay was the kindest person with a beautiful soul and tender heart and cared deeply for her family and friends. She carried the weight of the world and everyone’s problems as her own burden. She enjoyed taking care of everyone, time with her family, reading, watching movies, and listening to music and she could “cut a rug” like no one else’s business.  Her passion for walking inspired her to complete a 25-mile walk on her 50th birthday. Her original goal was a 50-mile walk however the November daylight hours did not allow for this.  Up until her recent illness, Kay could often be seen walking her beloved dog Neko (the Italian Yorkie) in Homer City.

Kay is survived by her husband Ben and her beloved dog Neko, her son Bill Sink (Susie Clement); daughters Debi Sink, and Cherie Jones (Terry), of Homer City; grandsons (who affectionally called her Grinky), Ty Tonelli and partner Jess Linder of New Orleans, LA, and AJ Fisher of La Jose, PA; great-grandchildren Everleigh Walker and Oliver Ober; sisters Janice Aileen Lingle Kavo, of Homer City and Delores (Dee) Alter (Bill) of Watsonville, CA; and several in-laws, nieces, and nephews.

Friends will be received Thursday from 2-4 and 6-8 PM at Bowser Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., Homer City where Services will be held at 11 AM Friday. Interment to follow in the Coral Lutheran Cemetery, Coral.
