Kathleen was a loving nurse for over 30 years. Most recently she worked for the Access Center. She had an uncanny ability to reach and touch so many people in a positive way. Kathy lived her life to the fullest through simple pleasures like chatting with friends, traveling, listening to music and dancing, but most of all she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. Family members wish to sincerely thank hospice (of Branford) for their wonderful care and support given in Kathy's final days.
