Born in 1925 and raised in Co. Monaghan, Ireland. At age 19, she immigrated to the USA. Worked as a personal chef at the residence of Ireland’s Ambassador to the USA and later as a Licensed Practical Nurse. After her retirement she continued to selflessly work and care for others right up until her passing. A kindhearted and skilled nurse, person of exceptional character, and faith-filled Catholic, she always put others needs first and provided devoted care and guidance to her family, patients, and friends. Kathleen treasured time with her family, especially preparing big, homecooked Irish meals and sharing family time around the table. Family trips back to Ireland were cherished. She enjoyed her friendships with sisters-in-law Breege, Ann and Eileen, and being doula for the newborn nieces and nephews in USA and abroad.
Her family is grateful and appreciative to her relatives, friends, colleagues, and neighbors for love and support over the years. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Holy Name Parish, 1689 Centre St, West Roxbury, MA 02132, March 4, 2022 at 9:30am.
