She later relocated to the Uniontown area, where she opened a restaurant in Hopwood, Dr. McCarthy’s Kitchen. She also served on the board of Genesis House, a non-profit, faith-based residence for men moving through the recovery process.

She is survived by her sister, Sharon Klay; and her three children, Kira, Ryan and Rebecca McCarthy; and their father, John McCarthy.
