Kathleen Louise Arnold

Kathy was a beloved sister, cousin, aunt, niece and friend whose love for family, laughter, and passion for being with others left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her.

Kathy was born December 6, 1965, in Groton Connecticut, to Jane and John Arnold. She held a special place in her family growing up the only girl in a clan of 6 kids.

Throughout her life, she lived in Connecticut, Maryland, California, Nevada, Florida, and Colorado, embracing new places while maintaining the family connections that meant so much to her.

Kathy worked in the technology industry while living in California before repurposing to the hospitality field. In 2018, she moved to Colorado to be closer to family, a move that brought treasured years of shared memories, family gatherings, and time together.

Kathy had a special way of showing her love. She loved hard, lived with heart, and delighted in making things special for the people around her. Her passion for cooking was evident in the delicious dishes she proudly prepared for family gatherings. It was never just about the food; it was about bringing people together and sharing something made with love.

Kathy was a resilient woman who faced life's changes and challenges with strength. She was deeply loved by her family, and she gave that love generously in return. Her smile, humor, thoughtfulness, and presence will be missed more than words can express.

Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, Jane and John Arnold, and her brother, Robert. She is survived by her brothers Rick (Peg), Tom (Deb), Bill (Sandy), and Doug, along with aunts, uncles, many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins, and her beloved companion “Cotton Ball”, affectionally known by all as “CB”.

Godspeed, Kathy. May you rest in peace, surrounded by the love you gave so freely. 🕊️🤍
