BIDDEFORD — Katherine “Kay” D. Siniscalchi RN, 87, formerly of Warwick, Rhode Island. passed away peacefully at the Hawthorne House while surrounded by her loving family on Jan. 10, 2018.

Kay was born in Peabody Massachusetts on Sept. 10, 1930 daughter to the late Ernest and Margaret Dunn.

We celebrate the love and service enjoyed by so many from Kay, whose greatest joy for the last six years was her role as Foster Grandparent in the Biddeford school system. She provided love and support to many children and was well known around town as Grammie Kay.

She began her service to others as a RN after graduating from Augusta General Hospital School of Nursing in 1951. She was a caring and compassionate nurse even in her final days.

Katherine was a talented seamstress and was a member of The Evergreen Quilt Guild. If she wasn’t sewing, you could find her in the garden tending to her flowers and vegetables.

She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Kay is survived by her son, Dr. David Jones; her daughter, Diane Jones; her granddaughter, Marissa Jones; her brother, Richard Dunn; her niece, Debra and her nephew Kevin. She was predeceased by her husband, Dr. Frank S. Siniscalchi and her brother, Paul Dunn.

A celebration of her life will be held at First Parish Congregational Church, Saco, ME, on Jan. 20, 2018 at 11 a.m.
