Kathleen “Kay” Mulcahy
Kay passed on to join her beloved husband on April 1.
Kathleen Lentell Woodworth was born on November 7, 1923 in Framingham, Massachusetts.
She and her husband John moved to Sun City Center in 1989. They were fairly private people up until John’s passing in 2002, as she was always by his side, in sickness and in health.
She found her way to a wonderful grief group at the United Community Church, which in turn led her to the Metaphysical Society and The Way of Truth Mystery School. She was a well-loved, active and eager participant of both groups. She was also a devoted member of her church, All Paths to God.
Her granddaughter Dawn Laine was by her side as she transitioned from this world. Kay was very much looking forward to the next chapter of her journey.
The Metaphysical Society and All Paths to God are hosting a Celebration of her life at the Atrium’s Florida Room on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12. The service will begin at 12:30 p.m. with a luncheon provided by the Metaphysical Society. Guests are encouraged to share their stories of how Kay’s “Kind and Loving Spirit” impacted their lives.
Reverend Sue’s church service starts at 11 a.m. The luncheon will begin at noon, with sharing of stories beginning at 1:30 p.m.
In Kay’s honor, please remember, “No matter what the question, the answer is LOVE.”
