Kathryn was born April 13th in Middletown, CT and was a graduate of Mercy High School. She devoted her life to her children, leaving her job as a timekeeper at Pratt & Whitney when her twins were born as a housekeeper.

She loved animals, nature, the beach, music and was an avid bird enthusiast. A free-spirit, you could often find her with her four-legged friends exploring a new trail or park. She had a contagious smile and laugh.
