In loving memory of a great gal, my cousin. I shared many laughs and happiness with her. How fortunate she is to be with those she loved.
Love her cousin,

I worked with Kathy at Mother of Sorrows from 1970 to 1977. I loved her insights and infectious sense of humor.
she was an amazing role model for all of us. One day in 1996, Clarice Howe and I visited her at the school and we talked for several hours. it was such a joy.

I’ve never forgotten the calming nature and gentle kindness that Mrs. Phelan embodied. Joanne Scarlata, Mother of Sorrows School (Class of 1979)
So incredibly saddened by this. She was such an amazing woman and made a tremendous impact on my life. While she will be greatly missed by many, the heavens are surely rejoicing. Condolences, thoughts, and prayers with the family.
My condolences to the family. Mary Ellen has been my friend since we attended college together and as if I have known her sister as well, although only met her when she attended my wedding and reception with Mary Ellen in 1976. Ted Kinnen
Mrs. Phelan, A teacher I will never forget. So kind and caring . A wonderful loving woman that was passionate about her students and how they were doing.
She had a huge influence on me and was part of the reason I went on to teach for 32 years . God bless you Mrs. Phelan and your family . I will never forget you.🍀

Mrs. Phelan was one of my favorite teachers at Mother of Sorrows (6th grade, 1980). Always smiling, caring and welcoming. I will never forget you and the mark you made in my life. May you rest in peace.

My Aunt Kathy was there for me when our family lost my brother when I was 8 years old. I didnt know it at the time, but she was my angel & I have always held her in my heart for that. She is now a Guardian Angel looking down on all of us.....
Jean Hassett
I know it's inevitable, but that doesn't make this easier. What a lady!
She loved unconditionally.
She rejoiced over my babies with me, even just over the pages of Facebook...
I am glad to have known her, to know what she loved, to have had her in my life as my 8th grade teacher, and one of my school principles...
She will be missed.

Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Both of my kids would tell you that Kathy was their favorite teacher-she brought out the best in all those kids over so many years💖
Great Person! Great Teacher! My time at MOS was better because of her'
When I taught at Mother of Sorrows from 1967 through 1972, Kathy was my friend and mentor. She was always kind and supportive. Thinking of her always puts a smile on my face. May she rest in peace.

Rest in peace my friend and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his handc
