Kathy was born and raised in Bellerose, NY and moved to Flanders, NJ in 1989, where she along with her husband, raised their children.  She worked at Morristown Medical Center for more than 20 years; she thrived and took pride in working hard and helping others.  She was loved and respected.  Her quick wit put a smile on many faces.  Her family was everything to her and she was everything to her family.  She was taken from us far too soon, but we have endless memories that will live in our hearts forever.
