She had a passion for animals. She treated her garden and plants like her children. She spoke life into everything she put her time into. She looked forward to camping trips, floating down Saco every summer, cook outs and spending time with her friends who became family. If you met her, it was guaranteed you would fall in love with her happiness and joy.

She never missed a NASCAR race. If she drove by a yard sale, she needed to stop and look around. She would pick something that looked like garbage and turn it into the most beautiful project because everything she saw had potential. She was beyond creative and had a wonderful imagination. The ocean was her favorite spot. She always said she wanted to be in the ocean after life. She will be spread in the oceans where her children live, New Hampshire and New Jersey ocean. Kathleen was happiest with the simplest things in life. If you got to know her, you were lucky. May her spirit and memories live on.
