KATHARINE "KITTY" DUKAKIS

While Kitty was finishing up her Masters at BU, she worked at Charles River Hospital in Wellesley, MA. I had the joy and privilege of working alongside her as a counselor in the adult day treatment program for the few months she interned there. She knew I am Irish American, and we would have long talks about Ireland, which she had visited several times. By the end of her time there, I was very glad to call her my friend. God bless and keep you, Kitty.

My deepest condolences for the Dukakis family. May Kitty´s life and memory be a true blessing.

A Love Story..I met Kitty the first day she came to register John for kindergarten at Lawrence. She was to marry Mike Dukakis and was so happy to start her new life back in Brookline. We would run into each other from time to time over these many years..always warm and friendly as we reminisced about Brookline & our families. I always admired her from afar. My sincere deepest sympathy in your loss of a wonderful woman. Shirley (Flanagan) McDonald Formerly Secretary of Lawrence School.

Kitty was my baby sitter when I attended the Lawrence School in Brookline. And her parents Jane and Harry often visited our houses in Brookline and Stockbridge (my father was Music Administrator of the BSO and the Pops. What was she like in those days? Well over some years as a kid in Brookline I had many babysitters. But Kitty is the only one I remember. That says it all. May her name be a blessing.

Mike, I am so sorry for your loss! Kitty I´m sure felt your LOVE because every time you mentioned her name your eyes lit up. I hope you can take solace in knowing I´m sure she felt the LOVE of such a good man. God Bless! Karen Lema from Easton/Quincy

No better person who truly helped those trying to navigate the health care system. But more.

Dearest Dukakis Family, On behalf of the Caragianes and Christodoulo families, we wish to extend our deepest sympathies. Kitty was an amazing woman who gave so much of herself to everything she touched. Whether teaching gym classes at Lesley, on the campaign trail, or as First Lady of Massachusetts, she demonstrated a grace and purpose that was admirable. With much love, Pam and George
