I consider myself fortunate to have had a telephone conversation with Katherine when I was in England this summer. She sounded terribly weak, but she had reached out to me for password assistance, so it gave me hope that she was on the mend. I worked closely with Katherine on the EMS room scheduling system. Her work ethic, respect for others, and loyalty to Georgetown were an inspiration.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share with you the very sad news that Katherine McCarthy has entered a hospice and the prognosis is grave. I know that, for many of you, this news about Katherine’s dire health situation is a shock.  Friendly and open by nature, but also quite private about her life, Katherine did not want people to worry about her. 

Katherine has been a wonderful, selfless colleague and a great friend.   She has contributed to the Law Center in countless ways, she has brought all of us who know her great joy, and her warmth and concern for others have been an inspiration.  It is a privilege to know her. 

She is not receiving visitors. Please keep Katherine in your thoughts and prayers. 

Sadly,
Bill
