Kathleen Julia Anderson

Kathleen Julia Anderson, age 65, affectionately known as Katie, passed away on Monday, May 18, 2026 in her lifelong home of Jersey City, NJ. She brought joy to everyone around her with her quick wit and kind heart. A dedicated 911 operator for the Jersey City Public Safety Telecommunications, Katie took immense pride in her work, often volunteering to cover holidays so her colleagues could enjoy time with their families. Her compassion and commitment shone brightly in her everyday life.

Outside of work, Katie was a true creative spirit. She found peace and happiness in knitting and crocheting, often gifting her handmade creations to friends and family. Gardening was another of her passions, as she loved nurturing her plants and watching them flourish. When she had the chance to unwind, you could find her curled up with a good book or savoring her favorite meals at Gino's and Houlihan's with friends.

Katie is survived by her cherished brothers, Stanley (Audrey) Przybylski and John Peters who will cherish the memories they created together. Katie is also survived by her treasured nieces and nephews, Loretta, Erika, Shaina, Gavin, and Craig, and by many loving great nieces and nephews. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and the warmth of her laughter. Kathleen was preceded by her parents, Ann Domanski and Eugene Peters.
