Graham and I are so sorry to hear of Katie’s passing. She was one of our favorite people ever. We first met her when she used to help out Jenny at Fannies. She made us feel us feel so welcome and as if we were part of the family. Katie’s was beautiful inside and out. She will be missed by all of us who loved and admired her.

DearJenny, Tim, Simon and families. We have so many beautiful memories of your lovely Mom, my dear aunt Katie. Katie was so full of life, stories, a great sense of wit and humour and so loved by our Mum (her sister Brigid) and by us all. Such was her love for her extended family that she spent many happy holidays here with us all and we look back on those times with happy hearts. Katie and you all also welcomed us all to Tybee over the years and we have cherished memories of time spent there with you all too. We know there will be a big gap in your lives without your dear Mom and we are so sorry for that deep loss. Sending lots of love, condolences and many happy memories, with love, Ciara, Mark, Maeve, Maggie and Charlie.

Tim , Jenny and Simon we are so sad to hear of your wonderful mum’s passing . Auntie Katie was always so kind , generous and lots of fun , welcoming all to beautiful Tybee that came her way . We have such happy memories of our time spent there together , a drive around Savannah for the first time site seeing in the warm sunshine with Ray Charles singing Georgia On My Mind one of Katies favourites was such a joy and Mums holidays to Tybee were the happiest of her life spending time with her sister helping in Fannies and getting to walk the beach everyday a place she felt was heaven on earth. How mum loved her name after visiting it became Eileeeeen . Trips back to Ireland were equally momentous watching all sisters back together was shear love and laughter . We are all sending our love and sincere condolences at this very sad time but know that your mum is re united with her sisters filling heaven with all her love and lighting up the sky with her warm wonderful smile x

What a lovely tribute to such a lovely woman. I’ll never forget the first time I met Katie. I think I was 14 or 15 and I fell in love with her accent and her spirit. She was a gift to all who knew her, and will be dearly missed. She was always driving Jenny to some Tennis tournament back then and then cheering her on from the stands. She enjoyed being a mother and it showed and still shines on in Tim, Jenny and Simon. I loved her. She was charming and gracious with a great sense of humor and contagious laughter. God bless you Katie, thank you for all of the love and fond memories.

- Jill Knight, Cambria , California

That face, that smile and that laugh will be missed by all who knew her. Oh yeah, and the Irish accent. Can't forget that. I loved her too.

Dear Jenny & all, Kathleen was such a grand lady! It was indeed an honor & a privilege to have known her. I recall the wonderful conversations shared, at Fannie's, between Kathleen, my beloved Dan and me. Her zest for life, and her charm, will never be forgotten. May she be at peace in God's heavenly kingdom. May God grant strength and comfort to all of you. I send my heartfelt sympathy & condolences.

- Carolyn S. Sheehan, Tybee Island, Georgia

I was deeply saddened to read of Katie's Death and extend sincere condolences to her entire family at this most difficult of times. She was a special friend to so many people on Tybee and always had a kind word to all who passed her way. She will certainly be sorely missed by all of us, but know you are comforted in the sure and certain knowledge that she has passed through Death to life with our Blessed Lord and Mary Immaculate forever. May she rest in Peace. With love, Jack .
