I roomed with Katy at the sorority a couple of times (we changed rooms every semester), and she was part of my close group of friends there.  Memories of great times with her.  She will be missed and forever remembered.  

We have known the Duhamel family for many years.  We have watched them grow and flourish, as they have ours.  So it  was with concern when Katy developed health issues a few years ago, and the concern deepened when her health grew worse.  We offer our deepest sympathies over her passing and hope that her family, in time, will be at peace for Katy is now in God’s hands and is free from all her struggles.  May she rest in peace.  Love  Dr. Jack & Barbara Solverson  

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.  Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. 

Katy was so much fun! She was my Alpha Gamma Delta sister and roommate in the “Penthouse” at AGD at 1323 Hill St. We had many laughs and fun times  (at the house and at her parents condo in Marco Island)and  I will always remember her for her intelligence and positive attitude!! Katy-I am fortunate and blessed to have known you.  

So sorry to hear about your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family members that Katy spoke so much about.  Katy was one of the most compassionate and caring people that it was my honor to work with over the years.   She was always helping out one of her friends or clients and went the extra mile to be sure that they were happy.  She will be missed and will never be forgotten.  

Everyday for Katy was to be celebrated, especially half birthdays. Hers was even logged in on the family address/birthday lists! We will always love Katy for her upbeat cheerfulness, kindness and love.

Rest In Peace dear Katy!

Paul, remember the three of us hanging out on the deck of the Fireside restaurant on route 44 drinking one too many martinis?  I told you the story about how my father would order his martini with the olives on the side thinking that it would free up space for more gin!
