Kimberly "Kim" Ann McDonald
NOVEMBER 28, 1965 – DECEMBER 3, 2019
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dear Sister, Aunt, Great Aunt, colleague and friend, Kim McDonald. Kim passed away peacefully on December 3, 2019 surrounded by her loving family and friends. She was born in Hartford on November 28, 1965, and was the daughter of the late Francis “Red” McDonald and Blanche (Bourque) McDonald.
From the time Kim was a small child she was a tenacious force who lit up any room. Her wit and humor were ever present. She was fiercely loyal to her family, extended family and friends. Kim always fought for the underdog which is proven by her lifelong support of the Miami Dolphins. Kim was also Billy Joel’s biggest fan, ever since she was a young teenager, and never missed a concert venue anywhere in the New England area. Billy Joel was fortunate to finally meet Kim in 2018. Kim worked as a CST at Saint Francis Hospital for over 30 years where she forged lifelong bonds. She was a leader among her peers and an advocate for patients, surgeons and coworkers throughout her career. Kim was well respected by her team at The Spine Institute for her knowledge, drive and work ethic. Kim recognized quality people and surrounded herself with the best. Kim loved music and travel, especially to Aruba, New Orleans and Ireland. She loved great food and wine, always to be shared with great friends.
Kim leaves behind her loving family, sisters Karen McDonald of Clinton, Gayle McDonald of South Windsor, Donna McDonald of South Windsor and brother Daniel McDonald and his wife Terrell of West Granby, nephews Jeffrey Katin of Manchester, Scott Katin, his wife Katharine Sofrin Katin and their son Reid Katin of Clinton. Kim also leaves a niece Leah Lapenna Ring of South Windsor and her cousin George Mason and wife Doris of Cedar City Utah. The family would like to express our gratitude to the St. Francis community and also the staff at Hartford Hospital Hospice care. Special thanks to our extended family members who showed great care and compassion throughout Kim’s brief illness, Karita Kack, Dina Karvelis, Tom Mazzoli and Alisha Frost.
The family will receive relatives and friends on Friday, December 6th from 4-7 p.m. at the D’Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Boulevard, Wethersfield. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, December 7th at 10:00 a.m. at St. Mary’s Church, 30 Maplewood Avenue, East Hartford. Everyone is asked to meet directly at church. Burial will follow at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford. Memorial donations in Kim’s name may be made to the Connecticut Humane Society
