Kathleen Folliard

Kathleen Elizabeth Folliard, Warner, 69, died peacefully on December 24, 2016 at Hospice House in Concord, NH after a brief but well-fought battle with lung cancer. She was a long-time resident of Laconia, NH before falling ill and moving to Warner, NH with her daughter. Kathleen was born on May 28, 1947 in Englewood, NJ to the late Samuel and Kathleen Folliard (Gallant). She was the oldest of seven children and is survived by her brothers Robert, Jeffery and Joel and her sister Janet Folliard. She is preceded in death by her brothers John and Bruce Folliard. She is also survived by her son Justin Folliard, her daughter, Holly Klawiter, her grandson Justin Folliard Jr., her granddaughters Marisa Quinonez and Julie Klawiter, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. Kathleen worked for many years in the restaurant industry at such places as Country Fare Inn, Stone Hearth Tavern and Christopher’s. The most recent restaurant she worked at was The Common Man. Afterward she worked for many years at Innisfree Bookstore doing what she loved: sharing her passion of literature. Her love for books was only rivaled by her love for music, with such varied taste in music to include such bands as Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Muse, and even Rammstein. It was with great sadness that Kathleen retired from the bookstore following her diagnosis with cancer, and she left this world with many great memories from there. Calling hours for Kathleen will be held on Friday, December 30, 2016 from 6-8 PM at Mayhew Funeral Home, Routes #3 and #104, in Meredith, NH. Graveside services will be held in the Middle Neck Cemetery, Moultonborough, NH. in the spring. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in her name to National Public Radio, your local library, or you can simply read to a child as Kathleen loved to do.
