Katherine worked for Eastern Tool Manufacturing, retiring in the mid-nineties, after more than fifteen years of service. Katherine was a very sociable person who could put a smile on everyone’s face. To meet Katherine or “Kay” as she was known to many was to love her. She was “Nanny” not only to her many grandchildren, but also to all of their friends. She and her husband enjoyed many winters in Florida, before permanently residing in Scarborough with her daughter and family. She enjoyed growing and passing out Aloe plants to all her family and friends. When Katherine began losing her vision, it was then that she became involved with programs through the Iris Network and never let her poor eyesight stop her from enjoying life to the fullest. She was always keeping up on current
events listening to the radio and knew what was going on before anybody else. She had a great love of animals, music, and spending time on the beach with her family. Having friends and neighbors visit her was always a great highlight in her day. She was a great lady.

Maccario of Scarborough, a daughter Dale and her husband Don Perry of Scarborough, two sons James and his wife Lisa Maccario and Robert Maccario all of MA, along with nine grandchildren; one great-grandchild; a sister Hope and her husband Frank Nerden of MA; As well as several nieces and nephews.
