Kathleen Threadgould Obituary
Rutland - Kathleen C. (Hyland) Threadgould, 75, passed away peacefully at the Blaire House in Worcester on April 28, 2020 after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. She was born in Worcester, the daughter of Bernard F. and Claire (Brule) Hyland and lived most of her life in Rutland.
She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her devoted husband of 51 years, George (Tim) Threadgould; her daughters, Michelle K. Gaudette of Charlton and Dawn-Marie M. Ludy and her husband Kenneth of Lunenburg; her son, Thomas Sokolowski of Portage, MI; her brother, John E. Hyland and his wife Judith of NH and her sisters, Donna L. D'Ambrosio and Corlene A. Agos of FL; several nieces and nephews; and most importantly her three grandchildren who adored her, Samuel Gaudette, Charlotte Ludy and Savannah Ludy. She was preceded in death by her brother Bernard F. Hyland, Jr. and her stepmother Joyce E. (Amsden) Hyland.
Kathy was a member of the St. Peter's High School class of 1962 and went on to get her Bachelor of Arts in Education in 1966 and Master's Degree in Computer Science from Worcester State College.
She was very passionate about her career, teaching Math and Computer Science at Oxford High School for 38 years, and also teaching at both Worcester State College and Fitchburg State College. She was especially fond of her students over the years (Class of 1991 held a special place in her heart) and the relationships that she built over the years with other faculty members. She spent her summers teaching Project 50/50 computer camp and taught night classes for French River Education Center in Oxford.
Kathy enjoyed summers with family in Onset, computers, reading, crocheting, making crafts with her family, spoiling her grandchildren and shopping and endless games of Aggravation with her beloved mother in law, Lovey.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Blaire House in Worcester for the outstanding and compassionate care that she received.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date, when people are able to gather. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 309 Waverly Oaks Road, Waltham, MA, 02452. To share a memory or offer a condolence, please visit

I had Mrs Threadgould for Algebra I and II.it was during Algerbra II I lost my way a bit. After being issued a failure warning my parents gave me an ultimatum- a B+ or no basketball. Mrs Threadgould took the time to help me attain the grade. My parents always said later they should have said A-. Mrs T was a great teacher. Rest in peace. Steven Sullivan OHS 1983.

"Mrs. T" was so much more than a teacher to me, and to many. Thank you for the kind words about the class of 1991! I cannot express the difference she made in my high school years. I know it has been a long, hard road for her and her family. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

I am very sorry for your loss, Mrs. Threadgould was one of the most influential teachers I had growing up and most of my fondest memories from high school include her. Thank you for mentioning the class of 1991, I was part of that crew and we all loved her dearly. I still have the picture of all of us in her computer lab in my home office.

Most people go through high school not really knowing what they want to do for a career once they graduate. I feel blessed to have had Mrs. Threadgould, or as we affectionately called her Mrs. T., as a teacher, mentor, and friend during my time at Oxford High School. After taking just one of her computer science classes, I knew exactly what I wanted to do after high school. Her passion for the subject and willingness to always make herself available to her students made all the difference in the world. She had a huge impact on my life.
I am still involved in the software industry these many decades later all because of her.
Thank you for being that special, caring teacher that truly made a difference in this person's life. You will truly be missed. God bless.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this most difficult time.
With sincerest sympathy,
