For many years, Kate was a dedicated Registered Nurse at Boston Children's Hospital. She was also an avid gardener who loved singing and playing the violin.

Always genuine and friendly to anyone she met, Kate will be remembered for her generosity of spirit and natural ability to appreciate the beauty in everything and everyone. In addition, Kate will of course be remembered as a consummate survivor who, in the face of nearly impossible odds, navigated twenty years of trials and treatments battling lung cancer.
