Kathleen was born in 1926. She was the youngest of nine, and had nine children herself. In 2016, at her 90th celebration, I captured a few quotes from those toasting her:
Granddaughter
What a ringleader and matriarch throughout the years! I’m proud to be following in your footsteps, becoming a nurse.
Son-in-law
The most welcoming of matriarchs, through good times and bad.
Niece
Across the entire Cahill clan- it’s profound, the influence you’ve had in all of our lives.
