Kathleen Maura Fitzgerald Terrien - Kate

I'm going to try to keep this post just to individual photos of my mom Kate Fitzgerald Terrien. I'll have others of Kate in group photos to be posted separately.

I've seen these 4-shot collections in the same frame for other children in the Fitzgerald family. The photographer was Sterns in Rochester.

Wedding Day. Sept 20, 1952. Her daughter Kattie Terrien Otto wore this dress for her own wedding years later.

1937

1940

This is exactly how Mom looked when cooking her famous skillet pork chops. Glasses half down her nose. The clear message was that everybody and everything should slow down and be like Mom, as she poked at the pork chops strategically. - Rick

I believe this is Kate holding new Granddaughter Sheila Mary - during a family gathering in Madison.

Graduation from Rosary College (now Dominican University) in 1946. Major in Economics. Minor in Geology.

  1. These are so great. Especially Mom sitting on the rock in the ocean. Their honeymoon in Daytona Beach? Or her trip to Bermuda?

    1. Hi - We haven't figured out how to teach Google to capture commentators names when they comment. Megan and Brigid have figured out that we all need to lead off comments by typing our names at the beginning - such as - RICK: abcdefg.... So hello to Bill or Katie here and thanks!
