Kathleen Ann Reilly

I met Kathy through her son Corin when he was in high school and I was a young social worker. While our paths have not crossed for many years she made a lasting impression as a fierce and loving mother and social justice advocate. Her high expectations helped others see possibilities they might not have imagined on their own. Our community is left stronger for her efforts. ~Monica Bear/Dane County

Kathy, your advocacy and love shone from you passionately, and made such a difference in Corin's life, as well as those who were lucky enough to know you. Sending loving thoughts to your family. -Lynnea R. Nielsen

I'm so sorry to hear of my cousin Kathy's passing. She had a special bond with my sister who died of Covid early this year. Kathy had a lot of adversity in her life, but I will always remember her with a smile on her face. Rest in peace

I always enjoyed the years that we sang together in the St. Bernards choir. She had a wonderful spirit that we will miss.

Kathy was a long-time friend of mine since her days of working at the UW. She was a very special person and caring friend for my mother who was one of her elderly neighbors many years. I'm sure she will be missed by all her knew her. Walli Roberts
