Kathleen McGoldrick, age 69, passed away on November 2, 2026 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, in Poughkeepsie, New York, after a brief, hard-fought battle with cancer.

Kathleen was a devoted mother, a loving sister, and a treasured Nana whose family meant everything to her. She will be remembered for her sense of humor, her generous spirit, and the special place she held in the hearts of her family.

Kathleen found happiness in the simple joys of life. She loved spending time at the beach, reading, volunteering at Diakonia and Habitat for Humanity Restore, as well as taking classes at her local Art League. Kathleen's greatest source of happiness was spending time with her children and six grandchildren. She previously retired as the Director of Human Resources for United Water, Paramus, NJ.

Kathleen was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James McGoldrick; her parents, Raymond and Marilyn Gallagher; and her sister, Rosheen. She is survived by her son James McGoldrick, wife Sarah and their four children: James, Declan, Evan & Emma; her daughter Caroline Bailey, husband Jason and their two children; Quinn & Madeline; her siblings; Hugh (Jean) Gallagher, Susan (Stephen) Seabrook, Jeanine (Michael) Cosimano & Kevin (Laura) Gallagher, as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
