Kathleen Martin, 85-years-old, died 27 January 2016. She was the loving wife for more than 50 years of Rhode Island native Kenneth V. Martin, who died in 2002.

A British citizen, born in Cambridgeshire, England in 1930, she was a resident of Warwick since 1971. Mrs. Martin was a long-time supporter of children's hospitals and other charities, and was also a life-long animal lover who had a wide variety of pets and routinely contributed to the ASPCA and the Humane Society.

She is the mother of Susan R. McCarthy of Cranston, Gordon V. Martin (wife, Cheryl) of Okeechobee, Florida, and Paul K. Martin of Providence. She is also survived by four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Funeral arrangements are private, with a memorial event being planned for the spring.
