She will be sorely missed by many nieces and nephews in her extended family.
Kay had many medical procedures over the last 14 years and was fortunate enough to have caregivers that provided her with many hours of enjoyment. Alex, Brittany, Kayla and most especially her dear Irish friend, Josephine. For the last 3 years Kay was cared for by Elaine who provided her with many days of her beautiful singing and tons of laughter. Our deepest appreciation goes out to Elaine for all that she has done to make mom comfortable the last few months. Mom loved to have visitors and especially enjoyed her weekly visits from Gigi at St. Peter Claver church, Peg Waldron from Masonicare and her dear sister Pat.
We express our deepest gratitude to the staff at Masonicare and Dr. Sharon Tan, for all their care and compassion. Everyone loved to stop in and see her smiling face!
A Mass of Christian Burial will be at Saint Peter Claver Church, 47 Pleasant Street, West Hartford on Friday, (December 10), at 10 am with burial following in Fairview Cemetery. There will be no calling hours. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions in Catherine’s name to Masonicare.org in appreciation for the care provided to mom.
