Kathleen M. Long
OBITUARY
Kathleen M. “Kathy” Long, 75, of Muhlenberg Township, passed away peacefully on
Tuesday, November 4, 2025, in her home, surrounded by her loving family. She was the devoted
wife of K. Scott Long, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, laughter, and unwavering
partnership.
Born in Reading, Kathy was the daughter of the late Bernard J. and Margaret E. (Weiser) Herb.
She was a member of Holy Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church and a dedicated Realtor
with Berkshire Hathaway, where she built lasting relationships grounded in trust, care, and
genuine kindness.
More than any title or career, Kathy’s greatest joy in life was her family. She poured her heart
into being a wife, mother and grandmother. Her children and grandchildren were her world, and
her deep, unconditional love shaped their lives in ways that will never be forgotten.
Kathy’s spirit was one of light — she had an uncanny ability to make everyone feel seen, valued,
and loved. Her compassion touched countless lives, and her laughter could brighten even the
heaviest of days. She will be remembered for her strength, her grace, her boundless generosity,
and the way she loved without limits.
In addition to her husband Scott, Kathy is survived by her beloved children Justin S. Long of
Birdsboro; Erica A. Buzydlowski of Muhlenberg Township; Tyler A. Long, husband of Tiffany
M. Long, of Lower Heidelberg Township; Scott P. Long, husband of Carisa L. Long, of
Birdsboro; and Nicholas A. Long of Birdsboro. She is also survived by her treasured
grandchildren Aliyah, Mallory, Daniel, Trey, Colbie, Tyson, and Nolan, each of whom brought
immeasurable joy to her heart.
