Katy Pollock Obituary
Born November 9, 1947 at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, Katy died peacefully on May 15, 2019 following a long illness. Katy grew up in a large family on Capitol Hill and attended Holy Names Academy before going to nursing school at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane. She moved to San Francisco in 1972 where she later met and married Palmer Pollock and started their family. They returned to Seattle in 1980 and have lived in the family home in Lake Forest Park for the past 32 years, during which time Katy completed a 30-year career as a Registered Nurse at Seattle Children's Hospital.
She is preceded in death by her loving parents, Frank and Betty Green, and succeeded by her husband Palmer, daughters Emily, Colleen and Elizabeth, her grandsons Mason and Dennis, and by her five sisters, two brothers and two generations of nieces and nephews.
The family will hold a memorial service at a date TBD.

I remember working with Katie at Seattle Children's. She was a dedicated nurse who stood up for her patients. I'm sorry to learn of her illness and death.

To all the Green Family, I am so sorry for Katy's passing. I remember her with all her pals carousing the hill during their High School days on the hill. She would be part of the annual Green/Layman/Tracy camping trips to Lake Chelan, Lake Alta, and numerous other camping locations. I think she use to baby sit for us. She will truly be missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers from all the Laymans

On behalf of all Sisters of the Holy Names, especially those who taught at Holy Names Academy, Seattle, may we offer prayerful sympathy to you all. May Katy's new way of living in God's Presence bring great peace and joy to her, and may you experience Katy's nearness always.
