Katalin Nagy Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Katalin “Katie” (Docs) Nagy was born September 28, 1946 in Cigand, Hungary. In 1964, at the tender age of 18, she immigrated to the United States to meet the man she had been pen pals with; he would later become her husband, and our father. Knowing very little English, our mother enrolled in English classes and later became a U.S. citizen. As a self-employed seamstress in the '60s and '70s, she joined Micheal & Toni Original Designs. While most of the clothing ensembles were designed for major recording artists including Chicago, Sonny & Cher and Bob Dylan, her talent expanded to dress some of the WWF’s top wrestlers including Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage, along with a host of others. She was an avid fan of wrestling and even subscribed to WWF network so that she would never miss an episode. By the late '70s to early '80s, Mom went to work for Peggy Jennings Designs. There, she continued as a seamstress creating high-end women's fashions. From satin wedding gowns to formal wear, one of Mom’s favorite clients was the former governor’s wife, Mrs. Bob Graham. Known for her attention to detail, Mom later became one of Peggy’s lead pattern makers. Sadly, she had to leave the work she so loved as she was forced into retirement after a stroke left her disabled. On Sunday, May 5, Heaven become a sweeter place when Mom joined our dad, her late husband of 48 years, “Mik.” She is survived by her three daughters – Jean (Kevin) Schubeck, Kathleen (Nathan) Kroger and Elizabeth (Bill) Laney; four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. We will miss her quick wit, her “no filter” personality and Hungarian recipes that we will not be able to replicate.
