Kathleen Mulligan Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 16, 2025.
KATHLEEN ANN MULLIGAN (nee Kenerson), age 84. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 49 years, Daniel; devoted mother of Melinda Drury (Michael), Daniel Mulligan, Moira Lusky (Steven) and Patricia Masa (Ron); dear grandmother of Erin Rubin (Henry), Brenna Bleull (Ryan), Catherine Sevitz (Jake), Patrick and Meghan Lusky, and Gavin and Kathleen Masa; cherished sister of the late Barbara Collins (Edward) and caring aunt to many. Passed away Monday, October 13, 2025. Kathy spent her career caring for others as a registered nurse at several hospitals throughout northeast Ohio. Her passion for nursing and helping others extended to family and friends who often depended on her for her free medical advice. Kathy was also deeply religious, which led to her active role at St. Ladislas Church as a lector and eucharistic minister. She enjoyed all types of music, playing the piano, walking and an occasional game of bridge with her closest friends. And, no one looked forward to holidays and family gatherings more than Kathy. She was known far and wide for her hosting of dinner parties and brunches that filled her home with love. Funeral mass Saturday, November 15, St. Ladislas Church, 2345 Bassett Rd. at 10:00 A.M. Private interment at Resthaven Memory Gardens. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to The Gathering Place - www.touchedbycancer.org - where she received support and volunteered over the years.

I had the privilege and honor of caring for Kathy this past year. Going to work and having fun with her made my days so fulfilling. We laughed so hard sometimes, our faces would hurt! I miss her terribly, but I´m at peace knowing she is with her Lord, Dan and free from pain! God Bless you Kathy

My sincere condolences to all. Kathy was a dear friend & I will miss our dinners & chats! Kathy & I met during local legal nurse consultants meetings. She was a trailblazer & with her leadership, she became president of the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants. Her knowledge was priceless & her compassion admirable. Heaven has gained an angel with her beloved Dan. Miss you, my friend!
