Life History:
A strikingly beautiful wife and loving mother of seven children, Kate will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by all who were blessed and privileged to be a part of her life.
Her parents were Irish immigrants from County Cork who joined relatives in Casper where they settled and raised their family. Kate was an NCHS cheerleader and homecoming queen and "the prettiest girl in town". She was a UW graduate and member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority, where she met the love of her life. She and Jack were married for 60 years and resided in Casper and Denver, Colorado.
The "best mom"! She loved being a homemaker, serving her family and always had an open door for her children's friends, making everyone feel so welcome.
Kate loved people and the treasure we shall all keep in our hearts was her spark of humor and vigor for life. Forever, a smile she leaves behind.
