Kathleen Murphy Memorial Stone

Memorials

This memorial stone honours Kathleen Murphy, the visionary founder of the Garden of Remembrance.

Having spent 40 years as a Senior Staff Nurse at Lennox Hill Hospital in New York City, Kathleen created this tranquil space in her hometown to remember Fr. Mychal Judge and the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on 11 September 2001.

Following her passing on 29 March 2011 after a courageous battle with cancer, this plaque was erected to ensure that her remarkable legacy, and the memory of the 9/11 firefighters, lives on forever.
