With a deep sadness and heavy hearts the Board of WDHA announces the passing of our beloved Board Member Kathleen Proceller. Kathy passed away Thursday November 24, 2011 after a brief illness. She has been a strong supporter of the profession of Dental Hygiene and our Association through education. We have always valued and will miss Kathy's expertise and friendship. Our thoughts and prayers are with her Family and Friends.
Visitation will be held at the Carter Funeral Home, 41 Grand Street, Croton-on-Hudon, NY 10520 on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. Her desire is for her ashes to be spread across the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
In lieu of flowers, Kathy's wishes are that a donation be to one of her favorite charities; the SPCA of Westchester, 590 North State Street, Briarcliff Manor, NY 10510; Just Strays, P.O. Box 573, Mt. Kisco, NY10549; or Forgotten Felines, P.O. Box 430, Valhalla, NY 10595
