Catty and Jimmy loved to travel. Trips to the Elms, the Cape Cod Irish Village, and Fort Lauderdale were annual events. Catty traveled to Ireland many times, her last trip at age 88! Catty made friends easily and remained lifelong friends with folks from her childhood in South Boston, the telephone company, and her later years at 1000 Southern Artery in Quincy.

Catty will be greatly missed by her nieces and nephews. We all considered her our second Mom. She and Jimmy opened their hearts and home to all of us and we were so blessed to have her in our lives for so long!
