McCARTHY, M. Kathleen "Kathie" Age 74, passed away on October 20, 2021 after a very short but hard fought battle with leukemia. She was the daughter of the late Daniel E. and Violet V. (Hockney) McCarthy. Ms. McCarthy was a longtime resident of Newton, NH. She was a graduate of Notre Dame Academy, Tyngsborough, MA and Newton College of the Sacred Heart (now Boston College) in Newton, MA. Kathie was a fun loving spirit who loved the ocean and time with her friends and family. After college, she spent many years living in the NH Seacoast area enjoying "life at the beach," claiming she wanted to "enjoy her retirement while she was young!" Over a decade later she would begin her successful 40 year career in the real estate business, eventually becoming a respected commercial real estate appraiser for over 25 years with Santander Bank in Boston and Minco Development Corporation in North Andover, MA. She maintained lifelong friendships with her "sisters" from high school and college, often traveling across the country for visits. She is survived by her sister, Mary Jo McCarthy of Newton, NH; her brothers, John McCarthy of Haverhill, MA and Jeremiah McCarthy and his wife, Susan of Homosassa, FL; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
