Katharine F. Dempsey

My deepest sympathy to everyone

As a manager for the basketball team, I remember fondly Ma D's kindness at we gathered to eat her fried chicken before football games and seeing her in the stands at basketball games. Her kindness will always be remembered.

The Dempsey Family, specifically Jimmy & Tassie welcomed me to UNC in 1968, at a Football Game Tailgate that featured Southern Fried Chicken, Hush Puppies, and Coca Cola, that was amazing to a NYC Boy like me.... Over the years and after Jimmy's death, Tassie remained a dear, loving supportive woman who will be missed by many, including me.....

To the Dempsey family:

I am very saddened to hear this news. As a former manager for the UNC basketball team, I met both Mr. & Mrs. Dempsey numerous times and thought the world of them. She was a very sweet and kind lady, and a true Tar Heel!!!She will be missed.

Tassie was always a favorite of mine when I served as alumnae director of St. MARY'S in years past. She was fun, smart and very loyal. I remember her fondly. My thoughts are with the family.
