She was the beloved wife for 51 years of Kurt W. Train. Born in 1944 in Oak Park, Illinois, she was the daughter of the late Carroll and Mattie (Walker) Kenyon.

She was the loving mother of Kenneth W. Train of Franklin, Tennessee, Kristine D. Costello and her husband, John, of Bellingham, Massachusetts, and Kevin M.

She spent much of her life in Cornish, where she met her future husband of 51 years, Kurt. She and Kurt lived 22 years in Plaistow, New Hampshire, where they raised three wonderful children, Kenneth, Kristine and Kevin.

Kathy worked many years in the book publishing business, where she took special pleasure in returning many old, out of print books back to life and into like-new publications.

Kathy was an avid reader, a talented seamstress and an accomplished quilt maker who loved designing and sewing quilts of love for members of her family.

Kathy loved working in her flower gardens where she displayed an enviable green thumb. She also had a special way with African violets and proudly shared the beauty of her collection with her friends, family and visitors. She also loved to bake and her cinnamon yeast rolls and coffee rings were family favorites during the holidays.

She was an avid high school sports fan and was often seen at her grandchildren’s sporting events. She was never shy about voicing her opinions, and was lovingly called “Gram” by many. She will be dearly missed by family and friends alike.

Interment will be at St. Charles Cemetery in Blackstone, MA.
