Kathleen N. Comer

Paterson

Kathleen N. Comer age 55 of Paterson, New Jersey, died Monday, February 28, 2011. She was born in Paterson on November 27, 1955 to William and Violet (nee Seipp) Comer. Her father, William J. Comer was the Chief of the Paterson Fire Department from 1984 to 1990 serving over 45 years with the Paterson Fire Department. Her grandfather, Michael J. Comer also served as Paterson Fire Chief.

Kathy attended The Paterson Grammar School No. 27 and then attended Mary Help of Christians High School in Haledon where she graduated with the class of 1973. She was a graduate of Lady Cliff College in Highland Falls, New York where she received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education in 1977.

Kathy was gifted with a quiet personality that was very friendly and sociable. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Kathy took many trips with her parents, with a very memorable trip to Ireland in 1970. She would also travel with her parents to Maine and Massachusetts to collect firefighting memorabilia, which became a family hobby. She also found great companionship with her many dogs over the years, including her Dalmatian Sparky and most recently an American Eskimo dog named Mouskie.

Sadly, Kathy was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy in her early twenties and from that moment she put up a determined and heroic fight of her affliction. She came from strong Irish stock and worked hard to overcome her health problems, never giving in to it.
