A wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister in-law, sister, cousin, aunt, friend; Kathi passed away surrounded by her devoted family June 19, 2023, at her home in Oregon City. Kathi is the daughter of Lena (Amato) LoPiparo and George LoPiparo, Sr. was born May 5, 1948. Raised in Milwaukie, amongst her large Italian family, she attended St. John’s Catholic School through the 8th grade then graduated from Milwaukie High School in 1966, where she met her husband and best friend of 54 years, Dane Segrin. She graduated college from Oregon State University in 1970 with a degree in education. Kathi was a passionate professional dedicated to teaching middle school for ~20 years in the North Clackamas School District, and even in retirement went on to work at the University of Portland, teaching new teachers how to be teachers. In-between college and her career in education, she did what she needed to do to prioritize her family and supported her husband by working in the family business. After her and Dane married in 1969, they began building their beautiful life in Milwaukie; in 1978 they built their current home of 45 years in Oregon City where they raised their 3 daughters.
