Margaret Louise Kabala's Obituary
Margaret Louise (Kuhns) Kabala, passed away April 24, 2019, with her family by her side. Margaret, the daughter of the late Paul and Elizabeth (Miedel) Kuhns, was born in Indiana, PA, and was raised in Youngstown, PA.

Kabala (1923-1996) of Latrobe, PA, is also survived by her siblings, Rose Ridilla (Latrobe, PA), Mary Repper (Brooksville, FL), and Joseph Kuhns (Ocala, FL).

On June 17th, 1927, Margaret L. Kuhns Kabala entered this world. As a daughter, sister, friend, and later as a wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great grandmother, she put many smiles in the hearts of everyone she met! She loved to cook and bake, even catering weddings and parties of all kinds. Her picture was included in the definition of “Party Animal!” She loved current events and politics. Any Pittsburgh team was her favorite! She even got to wear all four of Rocky Bliers’ Super Bowl rings, asking Rocky, “Does this mean we are engaged?” She never met a beer she didn’t like! She truly was an angel on earth!
On April 24th, 2019, at 1:35PM, God found room for her in heaven. It was rumored that God needed someone to make halupkis and pierogies in heaven, and Stanley told St Peter about Margaret’s expertise. She will truly be missed, but never forgotten!
Margaret declined to have a final service and opted for a huge family celebration instead. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for May 26th, 2019 at the home of Robert Kabala in St. Petersburg, FL. In lieu of flowers and gifts, the family encourages donations to their local Hospice organizations.
