Kathleen (Kathy) Clare Adonizio Reiff, 83, of Austin, Texas passed away peacefully on July 3, 2026. She was born on June 11, 1943, in Philadelphia, PA, to Anthony Charles Adonizio, MD, and Anna Bohan Adonizio. Kathy grew up in Pittston, PA, graduated from Wyoming Seminary Prep School in Kingston, and attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science.
In 1992, Kathy moved to Austin, Texas where she lived for over 30 years and never looked back! Kathy enjoyed being a member of the University of Texas at Austin Alumni Association where she volunteered on game days from 1993 through 2019. She spent 22 years working at Tarrytown Pharmacy which felt like her second home and family. Kathy, along with her sister, Bernie, and their friends frequently lunched at Austin's The Four Seasons, dined at the City's restaurants with their Planet Austin Group, and loved traveling the world with the Texas Exes Flying Longhorns. She also enjoyed imbibing a monthly beer with her Draught House ladies' group and exercised with her inspiring friends at the JCC senior aerobics classes. Kathy will be remembered for her fashionably elegant style, her beautiful smile, kind and generous nature, and for being a caring mother, sister, Nona, and friend to many.
Kathy is survived by her children, Kathy Swaak and Don Reiff, MD, son-in-law, Mark Swaak, daughter-in-law, Kim Reiff, her grandchildren, Amanda, Hailey, and Kendall Swaak, and Sophie and Davis Reiff, and brother, Anthony Charles Adonizio, Jr., Esq., and sister-in-law, Mary Ann Adonizio. She is preceded in death by her beloved sister, Bernadine Adonizio Tharp, MD, and brother-in-law Blucher Tharp.
Remembering one of Kathy's favorite quotes: Veni, Vidi, Visa
Kathy will be laid to rest at Mount Olivet Cemetery, Wyoming, PA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or Hospice in her memory.
