    4/18/22 Nick and Eileen Sordi We moved from L I to CO 15 years ago and didn't see Kathy but a few times . Nick and I were so saddened to hear of her passing. She was such an up person always with a smile. Had many wonderful conversations with Kathy since we met at NTC many years ago. Can still see Kathy & Bruce dancing at the annual NTC dance. We shared the same beliefs in the Catholic faith. God bless you, Kathy.

    I worked with Kathy for 15 years at Burger King. I cannot begin to list all the ways she influenced my life. Her passion for people was contagious. She made the ordinary, extraordinary with her joy, and humor. Her laugh was magical. Her smile and the twinkle in her eye warmed every situation. I imagine her in heaven, holding court, and making everyone laugh. She will be missed her on earth.

    To Robert, Brian, and Tara, I am so sorry for your loss. Kathy was a wonderful friend both on the tennis court and in our book club. She always made me laugh and had the best outlook on life. I suspect all that was supported by her deep faith and love of God. Her beautiful smile and positive attitude will be missed by me and so many others.

    To know Kathy was to love her. She shared her joy and enthusiasm for life with everyone. She took great pride in her beautiful family and solace from an unwavering faith in God. Rest in Peace our Dear Friend.

    Wonderful memories, I have of Kathy, playing golf, walking miles, playing tennis, discussing books at our book club and eating out, all enhanced by Kathy's warmth and wit. Her smile. Her positive attitude. Kathy lived her religion and loved her religion. She lived her values. These too are wonderful memories of Kathy.

    Kathy and I met at the Life Center 10 years ago, we were both counselors. Immediately we connected and laughed that despite our age difference, we had so much in common; one being having gone to the same high school and colleges! Her laugh was infectious and her smile warmed my heart. She was patient, kind, a great listener, fun to be with and a best friend. She helped numerous girls/women/and babies through her counseling and shared her love of God with everyone. She will be greatly missed xo Looking forward to see those Irish eyes smiling back at me one day!

    When I began lectoring at St Anthony of Padua, I was partnered with Kathy. She was such a pleasure to work with and learn from. We enjoyed teaming up for Sunday evening masses. She reminded me of my mom. They would have been very good friends. I will miss seeing her at church and just chatting. My heartfelt prayers go out to her family. I will miss her.

    Just a great person who always made people laugh when she was around them. She was good at her job at BKC, and knew how to get things done. BK

    Incredibly blessed to have Kathy as a friend and a mentor. Kathy was a leader I looked up to during my younger years at Burger King Corp. Her leadership, infectious smile, strong business acumen set a leadership expectation for me that was instrumental in my future and current professional successes. I was fortunate to meet up with Kathy again when I joined the executive team at Sportime several years ago. Seeing Kathy's beautiful, warm and happy smile was something I looked forward to weekly. May God Bless you and your family always. Rest peacefully my friend. Danielle C. Barry, SPHR

    We have known Kathy since early childhood. She has always been FUN to be with. Loved to laugh, genuine to speak with, honest and comforting. I have been praying for her since we found out that she was not well. I know that the Lord has welcomed with JOY her reward in heaven is truly earned. I did not see her often, however, it was always a pleasure. She was a truly terrific wife, Mom, grandmother, daughter and friend. God Bless you Kathy. Karen Erskine, Fred sends his prayers and love.

    Kathy's kind and gentle nature will not be soon forgotten. Whether discussing tennis, family or our experiences at work, many times she offered words of support and encouragement. Always followed by a beautiful smile and that hearty laugh. Kathy made everyone feel good and most certainly deserves a special place in heaven.

    Kathy's smile, her warm and honest outlook will always be remembered. When I began my tenure on the board as tournament director, Kathy always encouraged me to make changes to better the club and tournaments and urged me to do what I felt was best A very kind and warm spirit. I will always have wonderful memories of Kathy that make me smile!

    I worked with Kathy at Burger King for almost 30 Years. Kathy was the one person I knew I could on in every situation. She is that one that gave you her all no matter what. She was also that person that when she walked into the room everyone smiled. I will miss her greatly.

  • 03/23/2022

    To me Kathy was a bright light with a keen sense of humor. Her passions of tennis and golf were well known and it showed through her always being in wonderful shape. Kathys number one passion, as we all know, was to her Catholic religion. She stood proudly of how much it meant to her. Kathys smile could light up a room and it did, especially when her great grandson, Cameron would visit. Rest easy Kathy. We will miss you at family gatherings. I am certain heaven is everything you thought it to be and this morning, their was certainly a grand reunion.
