She worked at St. Luke's and Westchester Medical Center and a home health care nurse. She was loved by her many patients as a kind, caring caregiver who always has a smile and soothing words.

Warm sunshine called Kathy to Florida. She moved her beloved to Jensen Beach, Florida, where she has spent the last 18 years making new friends and living a happy life. Kathy's kindness to all was evident in her beautiful blue eyes that twinkled when she smiled and lit up the room. She was always ready to entertain with her beloved Brad doing the cooking, and so enjoyed having parties around the pool with Jimmy Buffet playing in the background. All were welcomed!!
