Kathleen Anne “Kate” Callahan

Kathleen Anne “Kate” Callahan of Quincy passed peacefully in her sleep at home on November 6, 2023. She was 69 years old.  Kate was born in Boston on October 12, 1954, daughter of Richard A. and Jean Marie (Evans) Callahan. Although due to her father’s government service Kate and her family lived in many parts of the country, she dearly loved Boston and its environs. After a career in nursing and nurse anesthesiology, Kate moved to Brookdale Quincy Bay in 2013. At Brookdale, she was truly at home, forging strong bonds with other residents and staff.

In describing Kate, her family and friends have repeatedly referenced her heart of gold. She adored her parents and had a special place in her heart for her nieces: Ali, Caroline and Caitlin. Kate loved animals and had a deep-seated compassion for the disadvantaged. She will be missed by many.
