My deepest condolences on your loss. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with Kerin for 5 years. I was also a patient of hers and enjoyed our conversations that we had for so many years. Your wife and mom was a very special person and took great care of our Veterans. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. God bless you during these difficult times!

I worked with Kerin for many years in the ER and she was a special friend. Kevin always supported me and helped me to make a come back in nursing.Her understanding and friendship I will always take with me. I don’t know if many people understood me in the way that Kevin did she accepted me for who I was. Karen is an outstanding human being and one of the people in my past who shaped the person I am today. Although we went our separate ways after I left the hospital I will always hold Karen very Close to my heart. Thank you Kerin for being who you are. I am quite devastated knowing that you are gone but I am comforted that you have left behind a wonderful family that will stick together I know that you adored those girls and Bob. Love Ginni Basile

I met Kerin at the VA when she first started in 2012. We realized our Wallingford connection when I ran into her at Little Italy and we talked about members of our families who knew each other. She was such a great person, a wonderful nurse, calm and always willing to help. When I retired in 2019, she came down and gave me a big hug. I did not realize it would be the last time I would see her. So sorry for you all.

Dear Bob, Mary Katherine, Maureen, Eileen and Extended Family,
My deepest, deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I've been so proud to call Kerin my friend, such a special, lovely, understanding and caring person. Her love of her boy and her girls was endless and her most important calling was Mother. She was so proud of all that they did, but was never boastful about their accomplishments. She quietly went about making the world a better place. I've always admired her love of giving to others and the pride she took in being a nurse. I know her legacy of caring and giving back will be carried on through her lovely daughters and her boy. Kerin also had a wonderful sense of humor. Who else would laugh when I had to tell her she had just been peed on by my dog Marshall? I'm going to miss her so. Always remember we're here for you and to look for the signs, they'll be there and eventually will provide some comfort.
With love and great sadness,
Kathy

The picture here is lovely and looks like it was a special day that will live on in each of your hearts. Love and Blessings to you all.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your wife and mother. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked side by side with Kerin these past 8 years, and even more blessed to be with her in in her final journey over these past several months . I will sorely miss her and our daily banter at the VA, the workplace will never be the same without her.
My heart and prayers go out to you and the family. God bless.

Dear Bob and family, I feel so sad to read this online from the Va Healthcare System news this morning. I don't know her well, But I saw her walk in the hallway passed. She already gone.... She lived in Wallingford. I lived in there for 50 years ! She seems in a good heart and beautiful family... God is with her in the heaven now, no more suffer anymore. She will always look down all of you from the heaven... My prayer for all in your family.

Dear Bob and family, we were very sad to hear the news of Kerin’s passing. She always greeted us with open arms and a beautiful smile. She listened to news of our family and shared her own stories of family. Together you both raised great kids in a beautiful home. Our deepest condolences to you and the always remember the good times. All our best.

It is with whole-hearted sympathy that I share my condolences with the entire family. Kerin was such a wonderful person and nurse to work with. Her caring attitude was evident daily, whether directed to her patients or fellow coworkers. I loved chatting at the urology pod and sharing a story - she always wore a friendly face and was beyond helpful during moments when I needed her help, whether work related or personal. I will miss her dearly and know that the rest of the VA staff feel the same emptiness without her presence. I hope all the wonderful memories you share will bring you some peace.
Love,
Anna

As you fought your own battle, you were helping others with theirs. You gave it your all to provide healing, comfort, and reassurance to those who were blessed to have been in your care. As your co-worker we knew your dedication and passion in all you did. In our time of need, we experienced first hand these genuine attributes.
So to you Karen, we bid you farewell as you spread your wings and take your place amongst God’s Angels. We will miss you

There was no question: she was a top of the line nurse. The patients never recieved less than excellent care from her.
My nickname for her was Sister Mary Kerin because she reminded me of the nuns I knew in boarding school-no nonsense-get the job done, and if you are going to do it, do it right.
But,I liked her better than the nuns because she laughed easily and she was a warm and sincere person. (Sorry nuns).

There are no words that would be sufficient. A truly amazing human being, a tough New Yorker who somehow managed to calm the most out of control patients, lead us by example, encourage and strengthen, lend an ear, a shoulder, whatever was needed. Kerin was a true source of strength for me during my fathers illness and passing while I worked with her at the VA. That is something I treasure to this day. It was a privilege to work with her but I feel blessed to simply have know her.

It is with a heavy heart that I send my deepest sympathies to Bob and his daughters. I would like to say that without a doubt , Kerin was one of the most inspiring nurses I have worked with in my career. She helped me to press on when I struggled to complete RN school at night while working together with her full time by day at the VA. She mentored , and mothered those in her charge and always was available to listen and lend some sage advice. I will miss her tenacity , strength and the love she showed to my fellow veterans under her care. Thank you Kerin for being a part of my nursing experience and may our lord keep you in his care.

Bob, Mary Katherine, Maureen, and Eileen,
You probably don’t know me, but I’ve heard so much about you. I worked with Kerin in the urology clinic. She was dedicated and she was an amazing nurse. Please know also that she was endlessly proud of her family, especially each of her girls. I worked with her during engagements, wedding planning, college selections. She helped me through 2 pregnancies, becoming a mom, school, and growing my practice. Kerin was my partner and I will miss her dearly. I will always admire the nurse she was and the mom she was. She taught me a lot but we laughed even more. Please know that I will keep you all in my prayers.
Love,
Mary

Bob, Girls, and Family,
Where to begin. When I think of the Hinmans, I go back to when you were on Highland Ave. We all had so much in common. We were married the same year, our children started coming around the same time, life was wonderful. I remember telling Kerin I just never knew how she did it, trying to balance a career, a marriage and a family. It truly takes a very special person to do all of that, and a special spouse. Years started going by, our families were growing and then the early years of school came. Kerin and I would run into each other and always had a few laughs when we would talk. When you moved, that's when we lost touch with each other. Oh sure, now and again we'd run into each other thru the school years, or maybe around town, but it wasn't the same. I have always had such admiration for Kerin and Bob. They taught their daughters all the important things in life They did and gave all they could to their family. They gave them material things when they deserved them. but more importantly, they gave them structure, respect, guidance and most important, love. Kerin is a very very special person as we all know. Anyone who met her found that out in their first paragraph of speaking with her. Her nursing record speaks for itself. I know God needed Kerin and her special gifts with him now. I'm just very sad that he took her so soon from her family and this earth. I will always have a smile upon my face when ever I think of her, or hear her name. She truly was and is an Angel here on Earth. It's going to take time, lots of time to learn how to live on without her. But she wouldn't want us to be sad. Try to comfort each other, be there for each other and always ask yourselves, " What would Kerin do" and you'll all be just fine. Because she's right there with you !!!!!! Always!!!!!!!!!!
Our deepest sympathy,
Kathy, David and Jacob Sanderson.
