Katherine “Kay” Walsh, age 92, wife of the late Edward Walsh, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2026 with family by her side at her home in South Glastonbury.

Born in 1934 in Waterbury, Connecticut, to Malcolm and Catherine Aldrich, Kay grew up in Meriden and graduated from the St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing in 1955. Married in 1958, Kay and Ed moved to South Glastonbury in 1972 and raised their four sons there. She was predeceased by her sister Ann Sampson and her brothers William and Malcolm Aldrich. She is survived by her dear friend and sister Jean Petit of Meriden; by her sons Michael (Portland, Maine), David (South Glastonbury); Chris (and Mary of Cambridge, Massachusetts); and Peter (Tampa, Florida) and by her beloved grandchildren Julia, Anna, Matthew, Tess, Calla, Cece, Malcolm, and Jack. She leaves behind also many beloved nieces, nephews, and friends as well the good people of Stockade Road, where she lived for 54 years. Bill and Kathy Casey were wonderfully supportive from the time they moved in next door in 1978 until Kay’s very last days; Tommy French provided different kinds of support and friendship over that same span; and many others—too many to name—“around the circle” past and present gave Kay a true neighborhood, for which she and her family are forever grateful. As a nurse who had a long and rewarding career before retiring at the age of 74 and who cared for Ed in his last years, Kay would also want us to thank her primary care physician of many decades, Dr. Paul Vella, the kind aides of BeWell Care at Home, and the compassionate professionals of Hartford HealthCare Home Hospice. Kay appreciated anyone who treated others with love and respect, and who knew how to laugh with others and at themselves—things that she did her whole beautiful life.

Friends and relatives are invited to call on the Walsh family on Saturday, June 6, 2026 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at the Farley-Sullivan Funeral Home, 50 Naubuc Avenue, Glastonbury. A Mass of Christian Burial celebrating Kay's life will take place at 11:30 am in St. Augustine Church of Ss. Isidore and Maria Parish, 55 Hopewell Road, Glastonbury, with a reception to follow. Burial will be held at a later date. To share a memory with the family, or to leave a condolence, please visit FarleySullivan.com.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Kay’s memory to the Jimmy Fund, the Connecticut Humane Society, or to the Irish American Home Society.
