Kathleen Howe Goforth Wood’s body left this world on July 4th but a part of her spirit will remain with all of those whose lives she touched and whom she loved. Born on July 11, 1936 and raised in Wallingford, CT, she later moved to Durham, CT and then to the mountains, woods, and wildlife that she loved in Vermont before returning to her family in Connecticut to enjoy her final years. Kathy was passionate about animals, gardening and living simply and honestly. Her gardens flourished and her love of life was reward by the abundance of blooms she was blessed with in return for her efforts. She easily made friends wherever she went and will be missed by many. She loved to travel, see new places and meet new people, often returning from her adventures with new friends and seeds and shoots to plant in her garden. She and her husband, Ron enjoyed many years of RV-ing about the US with their dogs in the window. With sadness she leaves her daughters, Dale Ackerman of Higganum and Tamara Bober of Durham, her sons-in-law, three grandchildren, a sister and numerous supportive cousins, nieces, nephews and friends in both the flat-lands and the mountains.
