She was a woman before her time and was the proud owner of 2 New York restaurant bar establishments, Kathy’s Part I and Kathy’s Part II. In the 1980’s Katie returned to Venezuela to care for her mother and ultimately returned to Connecticut where she resided in Stamford and then Greenwich to be close to her family.

Besides her parents, Katie was predeceased by her daughter, Tamara Zorrilla, and brothers Hector Vidal, Carlos Vidal and Angel Moises Vidal.
Katie loved her family dearly and had a deep passion for laughter, music, dancing and enjoying those around her. She was a God-loving woman who had an unshakeable faith and lived by the belief that “With God all things are possible”. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
