Sad to hear the news. I have fond memories of visiting the Fairview Park home where she & Eddy lived on Lorain Rd. Many holidays were enjoyed together at Grandma Nora Toolis’ house on West 159th. Great memories of our trip back to Ireland when I was 16 yo with both Kathleen & Eddie to Dooagh to visit & stay with Cissy McNamara & Nora Lavelle & family to see the family homestead.

Thanks to Olive & Anne for taking great care and looking after Kathleen in her later years when she returned home to Ireland.
Safe home Kathleen ☘️
