Kathleen McCormack, beloved wife, mother, sister, and Nanny, passed away on December 24, 2024. Kathleen was predeceased by her loving husband of 41 years, Robbie McCormack. Together, they shared a life filled with love, laughter, and travel.
Kathleen leaves behind her two devoted children, Thomas (Helen) and Caroline (Jimmy), who were the pride and joy of her life. She was also a cherished Nanny to her grandchildren, Faye, Cora, Erin, and Aiden, who brought her immense happiness and fulfillment. Her family was her greatest treasure.
Kathleen was the dear sister of Ann Marie (Michael), Eileen (the late Todd), Joe (Peggy), and Michael. Her siblings, with whom she shared a deep bond, will forever carry her memory.
A lifelong resident of Sea Cliff, Kathleen enjoyed a rich life filled with adventure, especially when traveling with her beloved husband, Robbie. Together, they journeyed across the world, but Ireland always held a special place in her heart. The beauty of the Emerald Isle reminded her of her roots and her husband's family. She also enjoyed visiting Florida, a place where she and Robbie made many happy memories, soaking up the sun and the joy of the simple pleasures of life. Kathleen loved spending time at the beach, but it was her grandchildren who truly gave her life's greatest joy.
Kathleen will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her warmth, kindness, and devotion to family will be remembered forever.
