Kathleen Jeffrey, at 60

Kathleen “Cathi” Jeffrey, of Warwick, R.I., formerly of Hull, died suddenly at her home on Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2022. She was 60.

Ms. Jeffrey was born in Weymouth on Feb. 7, 1962, and was a daughter of the late Robert Warren and Mary Ann (McLaughlin) Jeffrey. She was raised in Hull and attended local schools. 

Ms. Jeffrey worked for The Patriot Ledger for 25 years and then changed careers, and entered the hospitality industry with Marriott, where she worked for eight years. Before her death, Ms. Jeffrey had been working in the automotive industry.

Though Ms. Jeffrey didn’t have children of her own, she was a proud dog mother of her Golden Retriever, Clooney. She loved Clooney more than anything, and he was her whole life. She would take him for walks, car rides, and spend the day at the beach with him regularly. Sadly, Clooney died in October of 2022, and Ms. Jeffrey was heartbroken. Her family takes solace in knowing she is reunited with Clooney today. In her spare time, Ms. Jeffrey enjoyed going to the movies and spending time at her home. 

Ms. Jeffrey was the beloved sister of Maureen T. Jeffrey of Rockland, Karen L. King and her late husband, Martin, of New Port Richey, Fla., and Denise M. Jeffrey of Braintree. She was the devoted Aunt of Ashley Kaes of Plymouth, Julianne Kaes of Middleboro, Michael Kaes of Braintree, Sean Roberts of New Port Richey, and the late Gary Roberts. Ms. Jeffrey was the devoted great aunt of MacKenna Roberts of North Carolina, Landen Roberts of North Carolina, Ayla Roberts of Florida, and William Higgins of Plymouth. She was the dear niece of Arlene Jeffrey of Hull and Susan Jeffrey of Weymouth. She also is survived by many loving extended family members and friends.
