KATHLEEN MCGILLYCUDDY Obituary

McGILLYCUDDY, Kathleen M. Of East Dennis, formerly of Newton, June 5, 2024. Beloved wife of Ronald E. Logue. Step-mother of Amy Logue and her husband, Matthew Milowsky of Chapel Hill, NC and Emily Logue of Chatham, NY. Sister of Elizabeth Ferrara of Columbus, OH, Eugene McGillycuddy of Dennis and Daniel McGillycuddy of Airmont, NY. Kathleen grew up in Suffern, New York, attended parochial schools and graduated from Newton College of the Sacred Heart (later merged into Boston College). She later earned her M.B.A from Babson College and began her financial services career in the mid 70's at Bank of New England in the Treasury department. She went on to become among the first of a number of women to take senior roles in Boston banking for more than three decades. She also used her talents volunteering in the academic and medical fields. She was a Trustee of Boston College for many years and was appointed as the first woman Chair of the B.C. board of trustees. Kathleen took much satisfaction in her role as founder and Chair in 2002 of the Council for Women of Boston College (CWBC). The council is dedicated to furthering the role of women as leaders and active participants in the University. She has also served on a President's Advisory Committee of the Brigham and Women's hospital. Her best talent was spent acting as a role model and advisor for the step-children, nieces and nephews who benefited from her endless love and affection. Visiting Hours will be held at the George F. Doherty & Sons Funeral Home, 477 Washington St., (Rt.16), WELLESLEY, on Thursday, June 13, from 4:00-7:00pm.

I met Kathleen in 2015 in Dennis. She hired me as a personal trainer for summer sessions which led to a nearly 10- year relationship which enriched my life beyond measure.
My heart ached when I read about her mentoring of her stepchildren and nieces and nephews. I understand the immense value of her mentoring because I experienced her warm, intelligent, gracious guidance too. She never dictated advice. Rather, it was the example she set in living her life. She stood for excellence in everything she undertook.
My wife and I were also recipients of she and Ron´s incredible vegetables. I loved getting those texts that a delivery was imminent! I looked forward to our "driveway chats" when she told me about the "crops."
In my shock and grief this week, I´ve been thinking of her vegetable garden as a metaphor of her life. She approached planting it with intention, care, intelligence, perseverance, and joy. If a certain vegetable didn´t work out, she simply learned from it and moved on to another in the same intentional way. The results were the finest vegetables they could be.
She was among the finest people I´ve ever known and I´ll miss my friend very much.

Kathleen will be remembered by so many as a smart, accomplished who carried herself with kindness and dignity. During her time as a Senior officer in the Treadury Department at BankBoston we confidently relied on her advice and incessant professionalism. Our thoughts are with Ron and the rest of her family. With immense respect for Kathleen. Chad gifford
