Katherine received her Bachelor of Science from Northeastern University and her Masters of Public Administration from Suffolk University. Katherine was the charge nurse in the Dialysis Unit at Brigham and Women's Hospital. As an accomplished medical professional, Katherine was recognized by physicians, staff, and patients for her tireless advocacy and unequaled clinical instincts all within the context of her dry, inimitable wit. Katherine was responsible for training some two hundred academic nephrologists during her extensive medical career. Katherine was an avid gardener and her horticultural acumen is resplendent among the exceptionally beautiful plantings at her home. Her keen sense of design is manifest throughout her meticulously appointed home. Katherine's sisters wish to acknowledge the devoted Massachusetts General medical team and the exceptional home care Katherine received from Anne O'Grady of Clare Senior Care and her amazing staff.
