Kathleen M. Glatthaar of White Plains, died on February 26, 2019. Kathleen was born on September 17, 1928 in Bronx, N.Y. to John and Mary (Commane) O’Sullivan. She was raised in the Bronx (and never really left), and graduated from Cathedral High School.

After high school, she worked at Metropolitan Life Insurance Company where she met her future husband. On April 28, 1951 Kathleen married Joseph B. Glatthaar at St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church, Bronx, N.Y., and they were married for sixty-six years until his death. She is survived by her sons, James of White Plains, Joseph T. of Chapel Hill, N.C., Thomas of Purchase, and Michael of Atlanta; daughters-in-law Sharon, Patricia, and Jacqueline; grandchildren Danielle (Vimy), Kathleen, Thomas H. and Michele; great grandchildren AnneMarie and Lucas, as well as many nieces and nephews, cousins and other relatives, both in the U.S. and in Ireland, all of whom will cherish the many wonderful memories. In addition to Joseph, she was predeceased by her oldest son, John, and by her brothers William and John.

After their wedding Kathleen and Joseph settled in the Bronx. While there they had three of their sons, and added two more sons after moving to Plainview, N.Y. in 1957. The family moved to White Plains in 1964 and have been there since. Kathleen spent her days running the household and raising those five boys, as well as volunteering at St. Bernard’s School. It was a full-time job. After her sons were raised she travelled extensively, visiting, among other places, Germany, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, and (every chance she got) Ireland.

Kathleen was a member of Our Lady of Sorrows Church, a long-time member of the Women’s Guild at Our Lady of Sorrows, and was, with Joseph, a long-time member of Westchester Hills Golf Club, and she enjoyed nothing more than hosting lunches and dinners there with her extended family. She loved all things and all people from the Bronx and from Ireland. She was also a wonderful and loving grandmother and great grandmother to Danielle, Katie, Tommy, Michele, AnneMarie and Lucas, all of who affectionately called her “Nina.” She was never happier than she was spending time with them. They were, more than anything, a source of unending pride and joy to her.

The family would like to thank Mary Creaven and her team of caregivers, who helped make Kathleen’s final few years comfortable, allowing her to live home until the end. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation, in Kathleen's memory to Hospice of Westchester, White Plains, N.Y. www.hospiceofwestchester.org
