Kathy was always a jolly soul and will fondly be remembered for her love of shopping, (especially when buying for others), flowers, cards with stickers, clothes, spending time at Hampton Beach and trying her luck at skee-ball. She also loved decorating for each and every holiday, and getting together to play Po-ke-no with the ladies of the family, a tradition that started with her mom and aunts almost 75 years ago. Her most favorite pastime and greatest joy was spending time with her children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren. She will be greatly missed.
