Katie's obituary
Kathleen Hughes Hurley
Few people are fortunate enough to tell a tale of how someone truly changed their lives. For those individuals fortunate enough to have crossed paths with Kathleen in this lifetime, they have a story to tell.
Katie was a loving and supporting mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, ally and mentor.
For the lucky ones, the ones who got to experience the warmth of her smile, the intensity of her dedication and the comfort of her love, they will always remember her brilliance, her compassion and her unwavering ability to really, truly understand you and help you bring out the best in yourself.
Her career was marked by countless achievements - architect, artist, executive, CEO. But her proudest role, and most committed endeavor was being Megan’s mother.
Though the physical Kathleen may no longer be with us - her spirit, her energy and her passion for life will live on through the people she has influenced during her time on this earth.
Her creativity, passion and energy was contagious in the sense that she insisted on sharing it with everyone she cared about.
Whether that be through, beautiful floral arrangements for loved ones weddings, breathtaking architecture and design that can be found around the globe or even your favorite pair of jeans- Katie’s legacy spans across the planet and back again and will live on through the many members of her family, both blood and chosen.
