Kathleen (Kathy) Silviano, 88, formerly of Pittston, passed away surrounded by her loving family, Sunday May 3, 2026 at Orlando Regional Medical Center, Florida.
Born in Pittston January 18, 1938, she was the daughter of the late Frank Serino and Kathryn Entz Serino.
She graduated from Pittston High School in 1955 and in her earlier years worked at Valley Dress, a garment manufacturing business operated by her Uncles Angelo and Albert Serino. For her second act, Kathy became a Clerk at the Registrar of Wills Office at Luzerne County Courthouse. She also finally got her wish to attend college and completed coursework at Luzerne Community College.
Kathy will always be remembered as the life of the party who always had a mischievous twinkle in her bright blue eyes. She loved a good roadtrip, the white sandy beaches of Cancun, a lobster tail or two, and spending time with ALL of her family and friends. She was a second mom and cherished aunt to many.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband James (Tilt) Silviano in 1981.
She is survived by her children, daughter, Deneen Jobo and husband Ron, San Antonio, Texas and son, James Silviano and wife Jenny, Orlando, Florida. Granddaughters Isabella Jobo and Katelyn Silviano gave her the greatest joy.

Deneen & Jimmy,
I was so saddened to hear about your mom. I will always remember her kindness and all the support she gave during our kindergarten activities. She helped make those memories so special. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,

Kathy somehow managed to keep us fed on a shoestring budget and kept a smile while she did. My condolences to her friends & family.
I remember Kathy as the funniest and uplifting person who I had the pleasure of knowing. She came to my beauty shop and was always the best part of my day. My sincere sympathy to her family. She was a gem!
Definitely a second Mom to me and many others. We had so much fun at 30 New St….sleepovers & pool parties. I enjoyed Kathy’s company and admired her positive energy. No doubt that she will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. Sending love & prayers to Deneen & Ron, Jimmy & Jenny, Bella, Katelyn and entire family. I’m sorry that I won’t be there in person to pay my respects. ♥️🙏
So sad to learn this news about Kathy. I’ve known her since I was a child, as she was a coworker and best friend of our mom. Prayers to Deneen, Jimmy and their family
