KATE CARNEY Obituary

CARNEY, Kate Kate Carney, storyteller, actor, director, educator, and dear friend, died peacefully on May 10, 2023. Kate believed in the power of narrative to teach, inspire, and connect. A member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Kate performed throughout the U.S. and abroad. She mentored aspiring performers at colleges, universities, and professional venues. As a storyteller, Kate performed in national and local storytelling events including First Night Boston and LANES (now NEST). She created a series "Heroic Women You Can Talk To" for school-aged children to interact with characters like the First Woman Doctor in the West and Paul Revere's Mother-in-Law to "hear, feel, and understand what it was like to live in another century." Kate was a active member of the First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton. A Memorial Service will be held there, 1326 Washington Street, Newton, MA 02465, on June 30 at 11 AM.

Thank you for being our family friend since you met my mom at Mount Holyoke College circa 1955! Thanks for all the memories, especially the time we got caught in the pouring rain and to calm our nerves, you said, "What an adventure!" I hope that´s what you´re experiencing now. Please say hi to Sue Trevathan out there in the ether! Love, Jane OD.

Kate Carney was active in the Greater Boston women's community and we had friends in common. She was also in my Pilates class in Newton where we often fell to talking about Health and medical care. She invited me to speak at her UU church and we had a very successful meeting. Later I saw a video clip of her story-telling and realized how talented she was. I will miss seeing and knowing her, a charming person
in our community. Norma Swenson MPH, OUR BODIES, OURSELVES.
