Katie Morrill-Cleary Obituary

Katie Becker Morrill-Cleary, age 39, passed away on Friday, January 10, 2020 at home surrounded by her family after a hard fought battle with cancer.

She was born on November 29, 1980 at Concord Hospital. She was a 1999 graduate of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. She was active on the school's varsity soccer and softball teams, The National Honor Society and the French Club. She earned her BA degree from the University of New Hampshire in 2003 where she met her future husband, Kevin. She was graduated in 2004 from UNH with a Masters of Education, M.Ed.

Katie taught at Loudon Elementary School - second grade and kindergarten for 14 years. She ran the Ski Program and the Lady Bug Book Club there for a time. She much appreciated her co-workers, students, and administration for all their support and love.

She enjoyed coaching, participating and watching her children in various Northwood Community recreational sports and educational activities. Katie also enjoyed summers at Pleasant Lake and family trips to various destinations such as Yellowstone National Park, Boston and its many attractions, and Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. Katie also enjoyed getting together with childhood, high school and college friends.

Katie loved her family, friends and her dog, Diesel. She will be deeply missed by all.

She leaves behind her loving husband, Kevin and her wonderful children, Carter and Kendall - all of Northwood; her devoted parents - Mark and Suzanne Morrill of Northwood, and her sister and good friend, and her husband - Heather and Marc Dufresne of Waunakee, WI; as well as loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Visiting hours will be on Saturday, January 18, 2020 from 9:30am - 11:00am; with a service to follow at 11:00am at the Purdy Memorial Chapel, 2 Concord Rd., Rt 4, Lee, NH 03861.

Katie- I will miss your smile and laugh. I will forever be in awe of your courage and positivity even on the cloudiest of days. I enjoyed being your classroom neighbor for many years (on two different floors!) and will always remember your laugh echoing across the hall upstairs and on the other side of the door. We had SO many laughs in Kindergarten together!

My heart is heavy for your entire family, friends and all who lives you have touched. I will always think of you and smile Katie!!!
