Catherine M. Collins Curnin

I had the pleasure of coaching Kate in track and field and it is with deep sadness that I discovered that she passed.  People have often asked me who I thought was the toughest athlete I ever coached....without hesitation I always said Kate Collins.  I am shocked to here of her passing.  I will treasurev the many memories I have of her and wish her peace. I further wish her family and friends joy in their memories of Kate

My condolences to Kate's family and extended family. The photo here reminds me of the girl who was stuck sitting in front of me in just about every class we shared together, from elementary through high school. She was a beautiful soul...looking forward to seeing her in Heaven.

Sincerely, 

Ed Collins

Dearest Connor, Declan, Ryan, and Clara,
I’m sending my love to you. You are in my prayers every day and just remember Mom is still with you every single day!!
I was so lucky to have taught all four of you. Your caring nature and consideration for others were a few of the things I admired about all you! You also always made me laugh even when you made excuses for not doing your homework!
You brightened my life and I love you!
I’m so sorry for this loss!
Love,
Mrs. Wolff

Many condolences to the Curnin/Collins family from the Brady's. Kate was always a wonderful friend. I will miss getting together with her in person, to laugh about our many adventures in college and beyond. She loved her family above all, and I hope that love will carry you forward in this very difficult time.

Cousin Jack, Carol, Elizabeth and Susan. George and I were so sad to hear of Catherine's passing. As family grow and have their own children and grandchildren we have grown apart. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. May all your memories keep you going at this sad time.
