Kathleen Ross Obituary
Kathy spent most of her life in the Westerly/Pawcatuck area where she raised her two boys. She worked the majority of her career at Narragansett Electric. She was well known in town and made new friends anywhere she went! She loved to shop, socialize with friends, watch NASCAR, and her favorite: crafting… If it had sparkles, was shiny, or colorful she had to have it/make it!
She was predeceased by Louis & Kathleen C Manfredi (dad/mom), Sandra Johnson (sister), and Evan R Hoxsie (grandson).
Kathy is survived by Robert (husband), David Hoxsie & Edward Ross (sons), Heather Lindholm (step-daughter), Jennifer Hoxsie (daughter in-law), Louis & Gerard Manfredi (brothers), Nadine Sposato (sister), Isabella Ross, Gabriella Ross, Ava Hoxsie, Anna Hoxsie, Christine Ridolfo (5 grand-daughters), Nicolas Lindholm (grandson), and too many nieces, nephews, and friends to mention all!
Memorial Service will be held at St. Michaels Church, in Pawcatuck, CT on October 9th 2021 at 9am. Due to COVID concerns, the family respectfully requests that masks are worn by all in attendance. A Pot-Luck Celebration of Life Luncheon will follow the service at Westerly Bocce Club, 64 Ledward Avenue.

Bob,
My sincerest condolences on Kathy's passing. I haven't seen either you or Kathy since I was very young. I have very vivid memories of you and my Dad, Bill Keenan working on the "bucket truck". I hope you can find comfort in the memories you have made with Kathy.
