Kathy (DeRosa) Cote Obituary
Kathy is survived by her loving family, who were the center of her world. She leaves behind her cherished husband, John Cote and her devoted mother Elizabeth DeRosa as well as her brother Robert DeRosa and his wife Donna. Kathy was a proud and loving mother to her children, Adam Jaworski and his wife Robin, and Elizabeth Gottheimer and her husband Brett. Her legacy continues through her adored grandchildren, Landon, Avery, Evan, and Wesley, who brought immense joy to her life. She was predeceased by her father Robert DeRosa.
A service will be held on December 3rd at St. Andrew's Church in Meriden at 10am to honor Kathy's life and legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Kathy's memory to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a cause close to her heart.

I was heartbroken to hear am r of Kathy´s passing. We first met at Girls Inc. where we worked together for a few years. She was great with the children, was fun to work with and we became friends. Her Mom is a wonderful woman and it was a joy to have her kids around. You were strong in many ways. Thank you for making those years at GI happy ones. Be at Peace.

Kathy and I were Stay at home Mothers together in Windingbrook.
Kathy had Adam and I had Nick.
Kathy and I would talk every morning. We would then make a plan to take the boys on Adventure to fill our days with happiness. Three years later we found out we were both pregnant again. What are the odds we both would have girls. We couldn't be happier. Along came Elizabeth on April 12th she was a dolly. 12 days later my daughter Marissa was here another dolly. We spent a lot of time together. We laughed We cried but we always had each others back. Kathy was a big part of my life. I have so many happy memories. Which I will always cherish.
Kathy I know Jesus is there for you with open arms as are your loved ones, Where you'll find everlasting peace. I love you.

Kathy and I met during our first year at Platt High. She was my BFF, a brave and loyal friend who, despite incredible challenges, lived a full life, one filled with love and laughter. I will miss her.

Our first memory of Kathy was at the Windingbrook pool for the first time when the kids were very young. Since that initial time, we became very good friends. She always had a beautiful smile and a friendly way about her. Kathy was a special neighbor and a close friend all these years. She will be greatly missed. Our heartfelt condolences to her family.
