Haverhill - Kathryn A. "Kathy" Beebie, 66, of Haverhill, passed away, peacefully surrounded by her loving family and friends on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at High Pointe House in Haverhill.

Born in Lowell, MA on April 24, 1957, to the late Arthur J. and Mary T. (McCarthy) Beebie, Kathy was predeceased by her younger brother Richard Beebie who died in 1989.

Kathy graduated high school from Mt. St. Mary Seminary with the Class of 1975. She went on to receive her bachelor's degree in psychology from University of New Hampshire and later her master's degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University/Keene Graduate Program. Kathy spent the majority of her career as a Clinical Team Leader/Supervisor at Thom Pentucket Early Intervention. She was a brilliant clinician, a compassionate advocate, and a well-respected and beloved family therapist who served hundreds of families over her 36-year career.

Politically active and always informed, Kathy was passionate about women's rights and equality for all humans. In recent years, she was a proud member of the "Lefty Ladies", an informal group of local women who gather monthly to discuss current events and politics. She was an active volunteer and supporter of Greater Newburyport Ovarian Cancer Awareness and Ovations for the Cure. She especially valued her friendships with her community at Turning The Tide and looked forward to their annual retreats. These organizations along with the loving support of her friends and family, her amazing team of doctors and nurses at MGH, and her own indominable spirit, enabled Kathy to live with Stage 4 Ovarian cancer many years beyond her prognosis.

Kathy loved researching her genealogy, reading mystery novels, swimming, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.

Kathy's greatest pride and joy came from being a mom to her 2 sons whom she chose in 1995 and legally adopted in 1998. Their home in Bradford, MA was a place of unconditional love and support.

Kathy is survived by her loving sons, Peter R. Beebie, and Sean D. Beebie, her faithful brother Sean A. Beebie, her devoted aunt Brenda McCarthy, extended family members, and dear friends.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend a Celebration of Life Service on Saturday, April 13th at 11:00 a.m. at the West Newbury Congregational Church, 308 Main St. West Newbury, MA 01985. In celebration of Kathy's vibrant life, all are invited to wear bright colors! Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family at the Linwood Cemetery, Haverhill. Arrangements are by the H.L. Farmer & Sons Funeral Homes, Bradford~Haverhill.
