Kathleen Ann Langway

Kathleen Ann Langway, born Kathleen Ann Spellman on June 25, 1953, in Boston, Massachusetts, passed away on December 11, 2023, at the age of 70 in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Kathleen was a beloved mother, sister, aunt, great aunt, and loyal friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Kathleen was a devoted mother to her children, Brooke Langway and Jonathan Diaz. She also had a special affinity for all children and dedicated a lot of her time and resources to any child in need.

Her incredible sense of humor, charm, and feistiness, along with her quick wit, will leave lasting memories and smiles on the faces of those who loved her.
In her career, Kathleen served as a dedicated paralegal for Richard Barton Attorney at Law, where she contributed her knowledge and expertise for many years. Later, she took on the role of a secretary at Brothers Auto Body, leaving a lasting impact on colleagues and clients alike.
