The obituary notice of Katherine MCDONAGH (nee Hardie)

Kath, where do I even start. The first time I met you was around 12 years ago as I had joined the team as an IF worker, I always looked up to you at work because you were never afraid to say exactly what you thought! We had some giggles at the Civic offices didn’t we, your laugh was so infectious 🥲. We soon became really good friends. You had the patience of a saint listening to my troubles, my hen party where we all dressed up, you looked beautiful and when you convinced me to try cave man training with you 😅. One of my memories that stands out to me was the day of my separation, I came into the office, you were sat behind me and I didn’t need to say a word, I just felt your arms come around me to comfort me. Our girls Grace and Molly have shared numerous sleepovers, Moll loved it because you’d take her to the stables and then to Maccies! We haven’t seen each other much over the last couple of years, with one thing or another, our busy lives, our struggles but we were always there for each other and when we did see each other we would just go back to how we were! That’s true friends for you. Kath, you made a massive impact on my life, not many people “get me” but you did, you always did and I will be forever grateful.
Rest peacefully my friend, you will be forever missed Kath ❤️

I would send Kath a Xmas card to my lovely daughter in law and son because you were that to me and Brent and we will always miss you in our lives .Thank you for giving me my first beautiful fab granddaughter Grace who we will look after with all our ❤️ xxxx
