Kathryn J. Latulippe

CHELSEA – Kathryn J. Latulippe passed away unexpectedly shortly after midnight on March 1, 2023. Kathy lived with her husband Ken in Chelsea with their two dogs. She was 68 years young at the time of her passing.

Kathy enjoyed being a passenger on the back of her husband’s motorcycle and camping with her friends. She liked playing games on her tablet, reading, watching paranormal and crime shows and was a Star Trek lover. Kathy enjoyed visiting with her family and friends. She was trusting and genuine in her friendships, honest and tactful with her opinion and advice, and she was a sounding board for people, providing insight they may not have thought of.

As a child she had traveled with her parents and had seen many places before they settled in Maine. She greatly enjoyed trips with her children in the past few years to Mexico and Bahamas. In her youth she wanted to be an actress and felt the memorization of lines for OES helped her with her memory issues from a TBI in her late 20s.

Kathy participated in the Order of the Eastern Star for many years and was currently the outgoing Worthy Matron of the Queen Esther Chapter in Hallowell/Augusta. She was also past Worthy Matron of Rose of Sharon as was her mother. Kathy was a retiree of the State of Maine and was also a member of the union MSEA-SEIU where she was a delegate and served on the Board of Directors. She was a very strong supporter of labor relations.

Kathy is survived by her husband Ken of Chelsea; her daughter Tracie Eastman and her children Krystin Gilbert and her husband Dan; Jesse Perreault and his wife Knel-Leigh and their children (Kathy’s great-grandchildren) Aurora, ZiZi, Ellie, and Ana of Augusta; her son and daughter-in-law Joe and Kim Eastman and their children Logan and Emily of Pittston. Kathy loved her family greatly and was very proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings, their spouses and families, Trish and Gary Newcomb of Newark Ohio, Robert and Cindy Allen of Fairfield.

She was preceded by her parents Leon and Helen Allen of Chelsea, as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Per Kathy’s request, she is going to be cremated and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
