Kathy, “Mrs. Radar Ray,” passed away on May 8 surrounded by loved ones. She was born Kathleen Rose Sheehan in Glendale, Queens. She later moved to Bethel, NY where she lived the rest of her 60+ years. In 1969 she even helped festivalgoers by handing out food as they navigated Woodstock.

Kathy worked at the Lakeview Diner for years, and at age 35, decided to attend SUNY Sullivan where she earned her RN license. She worked at Harris Community, and then Day Top Village, from which she retired as a Nursing Supervisor.

In retirement, she enjoyed traveling, specifically going on cruises, with her husband Raymond. She also enjoyed spending time with her friends and family and hosting holidays, especially Christmas.

She also had several special friends over the years whom she loved: Sonia, Cathy, Joan, Bev, Lita, Harriett, and Claire.

She was pre-deceased by her parents, Maxine and Joe; brother, Dennis; her first husband, Richard LaPolt; children Glenn “Bubba,” Laura, and Todd, and daughter-in-law, Shona (Richard).
