Catherine Mountain

Catherine (Kay) Mountain, 88 years old, of Barrington, was chosen by God to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven on January 8, 2025. Catherine passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. 

 Born to John & Mary (Mullen) McGee in Twin Mountain, NH on September 30, 1936, Catherine was the 7th of 10 children. Catherine was the only senior graduate of Twin Mountain High School, Class of 1954. On October 29, 1955, she married the love of her life, Joseph Mountain Sr. 

In 1963, they settled in Barrington, NH, where she cared for their four children and their home until the youngest child started school. Catherine then worked in the school cafeteria and in food service at Republic Management and UNH until her retirement. Catherine had an amazing sense of humor and was typically the instigator to most practical jokes and squirt gun fights.
