Katherine Gunn Obituary
Our beautiful Kate passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 11, 2020 in Southwick, Massachusetts.
Kate was born on February 13, 1979 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She spent the first ten years of her life with her parents and three brothers in Southbury, Connecticut. In 1989 the family relocated to Doylestown, Pennsylvania, where Kate attended Lenape Middle School and C.B. West High School. She graduated in 2002.
Kate had a heart as big as the sun and was happiest when she was with her family. She loved being in the midst of the loving bantering with her brothers, with her parents interjecting childhood memories. If there was anything you wanted to know about movies, Kate could tell you. She, along with her mother, was a movie maven with a standing weekly movie date. She also loved trivia and could talk about anything.
Kate will be forever missed by her parents, David and Barbara Gunn, her brother Jonathan Gunn and family: wife, Cindy, and children Jaimeson, and Dash, her brother Bob Gunn, and her brother Brian Gunn and his daughter Kaylee. She has left a huge hole in all of our hearts.
Services for Kate will be announced at a later date.

I am so sorry to have just learned of your passing. You lived downstairs and across the hall from me when we lived off Silo Hill Road....I met you previously when I rented a room from your brother Brian.
I remember your flaming red hair! And your really infectious laugh, and your smile was really heartwarming.
Rest in peace.

I have fond memories growing up together from sleepovers, camping, sorority events, catching fireflies in the backyard in PA, and of course talking about boys! I regret not seeing you in the past few years but I will always cherish our random talks. You will not be forgotten Katie. My heart goes out to your family.
