Katherine A. Fontaine Urquhart

She was born in Nashua, NH on April 23, 1948, the first child of the late Herbert and Stacia (Yarmolovich) Fontaine.

Kathy was educated in the Nashua school system, graduating from Nashua High School. She was employed as a secretary for Child Family Services of Cape Cod. Kathy was active with the Senior Center in Salem, NH. Simple pleasures were her true enjoyments. She loved nature, enjoyed watching and feeding the birds, gardening, the ocean, was a great cook, and loved to read spiritual books. She had a talent for all crafts and loved antiques. With a loving smile, her priority was family first. Her love and devotion will be forever cherished by her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Kathy was a gentle soul with a loving heart and giving spirit. Her energy and laughter would light up a room. Her generous nature will live on. Per her wishes as an organ donor, her kidneys were transplanted into two grateful recipients. Kathy is now in a beautiful place. Her family and friends take comfort in knowing she is surrounded by those she deeply loved. Kathy you will be forever missed!
