Obituary
Kathy Ann Haak, age 65 of Litchfield Park, AZ died January 23, 2020, in Litchfield Park, AZ. She was born September 8, 1954, in Wilkes Barre, PA to William and Bette (Cusick) Bartosh. Kathy moved from Pennsylvania to the central coast of California when she was five years old. She graduated from Arroyo Grande High School in 1972 and remained actively involved in her high school reunions until her cancer treatment prohibited her participation. She graduated from Cuesta College in 1991 as an RN and received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Grand Canyon University in 2003.
Kathy worked as a registered nurse for 29 years. She had a passion for providing long term care and caring for the elderly. She had a long career which included working as a Director of Nursing at a number of facilities in Arizona and California. She ended her nursing career as a Case Manager with Banner Health. Kind and generous, Kathy was loved by everyone she met. She courageously fought her cancer from the time of diagnosis in 2019 until her passing a year later. She loved her family deeply and her grandchildren more than anything.
Kathy is survived by her daughter Julie Cosa and her husband Nathan, and grandchildren Seth, Alyssa, Luke, and Sebastian. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 am, Saturday, February 8, 2020, at the Palm Valley Church, 431 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338. Condolences for the family may be left below.

You have fought a good fight And you have finished your race. I am deeply saddened by this, but I know you are no longer suffering and sitting high up on that mountain watching over your family. You were one of my favorite supervisors and I’m glad I got to know you. Sending prayers for your family. RIP Kathy

I was blessed to know her and call her friend. I live in Mesa Arizona and will be attending the memorial service. It is so hard to say goodbye to someone so young. She will be sorely missed.

Kathy treated me as her own daughter whenever I visited Julie after they moved to Arizona. She was one of a kind.
