Her seven beautiful grandchildren, Devyn, Kaitlyn, Max, Emerson, Grey, Caleigh, and Cassidy, will continue her legacy. Family meant everything to Kathleen, and she took great pride in being a caring and loving mother to her four children, a “mad-wild-crazy in love wife," and a supportive and best advice-giving “Mam” to her grandchildren.</p><p><br></p><p>Kathleen dedicated her life to education as an early childhood interventionist, nursery school teacher, and the Monticello Central School District's K-12 reading and special education teacher.
