Kathleen Donnelly Obituary

To the Boyle Family: I was very sorry to hear about Kathy. How sad for everyone who knew her. I remember when your house was being built on Lawndale. It was so big and modern. One of my fondest memories was of watching the 1976 Summer Olympics in your family room. I can remember like it was yesterday watching Nadia Comaneci getting the first of her perfect 10s. We were all so excited. My heart goes out to you all. With deepest sympathy.

Sincere sympathy to Cousin Bear,Shane, Bridget and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. Take care of each other.

To The Donnelly/Boyle Family,
My heart,prayers, and thoughts go out to all of you during this very difficult time. Kathy was such a jem of a lady to be around. My absolute favorite memory of her was when I was in 8th grade,and was crazy about Selena. Kathy, on her own dime, took me, Bridget, and a few of my girlfriends to see a Selena play, we had the best time ever!! I will never forget it.
To Bridget-
Thank you for not only being the best friend my sister Cali could ask for, but another trusting,loving younger sister that I could love and spoil.
To Kathy, Bridget,Eileen, Shelia, Grandma Boyle, Karen-
Thank you all for being the best second family my sister could ever have. You all encouraged her weaknesses, and congratulated her strengths. For all of this, I am truly grateful for all of you beautiful women.

With My Love and Condolences,
Jamie Arundel

To The Donnelly/Boyle Family,
My heart,prayers,and thoughts are with all of you through this incredibly difficult time. I have known Kathy for 12 years,through my amazing sister Cali. My absolute favorite memory of Kathy was when I was in 8th grade, and was crazy about Selena. Kathy found out there was a play on Selena, and took me, Bridget, and all my girlfriends to the play on her dime too. I had the best time ever, and I imagine everyone who went could back me up on how much fun we had!
To Bridget-
Thank you for being for always being another trusting, loving young sister for me! I adore and love you to infinity forever and forever. I am so glad that Cali has a best friend in you! Our lives would truly not be the same without you.
To Kathy, Bridget, Eileen, Shelia, Karen, and Grandma Boyle,
Thank you for being the best second family that Cali could ever have. You hold and carry Cali like no other with your endless love. You have all been there to encourage her weaknesses and to congratulate her strengths, for that I am truly thankful for all of you beautiful women.

With Condolences and Love,

Dear Donnelly and Boyle Families,

I will always have fond memories of Mrs. Donnelly. She had my 2 children as students in her Kindergarden class at MHR. I remember her Thanksgiving Celebrations, cooking turkey, dressing like pilgrims and indians. I still make her pumpkin bread recipe. She was a very warm and caring person, and will be missed.

Sincerely,

Barb Windberg, mother of Bryan and Amy
