Katherine Ann Almasy was born on December 14, 1958, in the vibrant city of Manchester, New Hampshire. She departed this world on May 8, 2025, at the Elliot Hospital, after a hard-fought struggle against Multiple Sclerosis, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever resonate in the hearts of her loved ones.

A curious conversationalist, she thrived on the rich tapestry of human connection, often expressing her joy through engaging dialogue and a keen interest in the latest local gossip.
In life, Katherine held an unparalleled fondness for animals, with a particular affection for her loyal dogs, who remained steadfast companions by her side. Her love extended beyond her furry friends; she embraced the simple pleasures of life, such as delighting in a perfectly crafted steak and cheese sub at her all-time favorite spot, Nadeau's Subs.
Katherine’s legacy will live on through her cherished family members; her devoted daughter, Kristen Arel and her husband Eric, and their children Taryn, Peyton, Adelyn, Gavin and Hayden; her sons Patrick Almasy, Michael Almasy and his wife Ashley, and their son Zane, and Shawn Almasy and his wife Ashley; her devoted brothers Kevin, Thomas, and Brian O'Neil; her devoted sister Sharon Montminy and all of their spouses; and her many nieces and nephews. They carry forward her spirit and the compassion she so freely offered. She was also deeply loved by her father, Bernard O'Neil, and her mother, Theresa O'Neil, whose guidance and support shaped her into the remarkable woman she became.
