1961-1992
Daughter
of Garden
of Peace
Board Member,
Evelyn Tobin
Kathy Dempsey
was 31 when
she was
murdered.
She was
a freelance
graphic
designer
about to
enter graduate
school to
obtain a
Masters
in education
so that
she could
teach art
to young
children.
She was
the oldest
of three
children
and her
parents
only daughter.
Kathy had
many talents,
but the
greatest
was her
ability
to bring
people together
and to nurture
her many
relationships.
She loved
her friends
and family.
She loved
the earth
and every
living thing
on it. And
she loved
life.
During
the early
morning
hours of
August 23,
1992, while
asleep in
her home
in Lexington,
MA, Kathy
was stabbed
by an intruder.
She dialed
911 for
help, but
through
a series
of tragic
errors by
the telephone
operator
and the
emergency
dispatcher,
help never
came and
she bled
to death.
Her attacker
has not
been apprehended.
