Kate was born January 3, 1983 in Nyack, New York to her parents, Thomas and Alice Spillane. Kate lived life to the fullest. She was the life of the party. Her smile was contagious and would light up a room. She could make anyone laugh with her quick wit. She was an accomplished NICU nurse and recently graduated from Duke University with her masters. She had just begun her new career as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. Kate never met a stranger and once you were a friend of Kate you were a friend for life. Kate’s greatest accomplishment in life was her son Roman. He was her pride and joy and she lives on in him.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Barrett and Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Spillane. Kate will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Brian Grandelli; son, Roman Wahdan; parents, Thomas and Alice Spillane; sisters, Brenna Magliulo (Alessandro), Jill Sutton (Jereme) and Amy McGrady (Shawn); and nieces and nephews, Nicholas, Stella, Liam, Shamus, Madeline, Hannah Grace and Molly.
