In loving memory of Kathleen McCarthy who sadly passed away on 7th September 2024.
Mother, sister, daughter, wife, traveller & teacher, Kathy liked to keep busy and had many interests in life. Never one to sit still Kathy loved to socialise, talking to those around her and going out to meet people. She was full of advice for any occasion or problem and would always extol the virtues of getting a good education.
Kathy achieved much in life despite many hardships and setbacks. She went on to contribute to society through teaching and by being politically active. She expressed herself through her art, producing paintings of many subjects from realism through to abstract.
Kathy will be sadly missed by many people.

Mrs McCarthy taught me joined-up handwriting when I was seven. A few years later she was the only teacher to knock on my door when my mother passed away -- such kindness leaves an impression. I was very glad to reconnect with her several decades later and always enjoyed her company.
I'm deeply saddened to learn of her passing and disappointed that I didn't speak with her for a while before her death. She was truly a good soul and I shall think of her often.
"You're either a maker or a breaker." -- Mrs McCarthy
