Katherine J. McGuire

She was born in Bourne, MA on May 30, 1964. She was the daughter of the late Judith (Treadwell) and Richard Junge. She moved a lot growing up due to her father’s service in the Air Force and got to experience childhood in many places in the US; she even lived as far as Japan. Kathy’s family settled in Dover, DE just in time for high school where she graduated from Dover High School.

Kathy attended Delaware Technical Community College where she received her Associates in Nursing. She further pursued her Bachelors in Nursing from Southern New Hampshire University. Recently, she had been studying to obtain her Masters in Nursing.

A resident of Keene for the past 15 years, Kathy had been employed by Cheshire Medical and Keene Center Genesis. She had a passion for nursing and caring for others.

Kathy found pleasure in camping at her camp and spending the summers visiting the shores of Cape Cod. There was nothing that Kathy enjoyed more than spoiling her three grandbabies.

Kathy will be dearly missed by her children: Carlina Nickerson and her husband Eddie of Hartly, DE, Mathew McGuire and his wife Melissa of Frederica, DE, and Alex Raffaele of Keene, NH; grandchildren: Kyleigh, Kamryn, and Camdyn; brothers: Michael Junge and his wife Sandi of Dunkirk, MD and Gary Junge and his wife Cindy of Magnolia, DE; cousins: Christie Yardley and Jeff Gaouette who were more like siblings; as well as many additional cousins, nieces, and nephews whom she loved dearly.
