The CrossState Credit Union Association is mourning the passing of Kathleen Fey, who served as executive director of the CrossState Credit Union Foundation.
Fey died at her Hampden Township, Pa., home on July 30 following a five-year battle with breast cancer.
She was 60.
“Under Kathleen’s leadership, the Foundation continued to grow with creative and innovative programs to help credit unions and advance financial education,” CrossState President/CEO Patrick Conway said. “Her optimism throughout her long battle with cancer was nothing short of amazing. She will be missed dearly by her family and friends, as well as her CrossState family.”
