Kathleen L. Michaud age 73 passed away Friday May 8, 2015.

Kathy grew up in Waterville, ME and after marriage lived in Unionville, CT for eleven years. In 1976 she moved to Putnam, CT where she resided for thirty-one years and co-owned Cady Brook Farm. Upon retirement she and her husband moved to Rutherford County NC where they have resided for the past eight years.

Kathy was always a joyful spirit who always had a smile for her many friends and family. She enjoyed puzzles, playing the occasional slot at the casino, country music, traveling in her motor home and watching NASCAR with her husband. Whether working in her yard or hanging clothes, she always kept busy and derived great pleasure from the simple things in life.
