Kathy Stewart ’71 Memorial AwardThis award is in honor of our mom, Kathy (Harned) Stewart, class of 1971. Kathy was an incredible force, the greatest and most loyal mother, friend, Girl Scout leader, and nurse we could ever ask for. She was a Mercy girl through and through. Our mom loved her two daughters, the beach, spending time with her friends, and her nursing career. She never hesitated to help someone in need. This passion for helping others started early as a young student at Mercy. She knew, even then, that nursing would be her future. She had an incredible career and was a brilliant nurse who had a gift of compassion and a talent for comforting her patients. For the last 20 years of her career, she worked at St Francis Hospital in Roslyn as the Nursing Administrative Supervisor.Our mom Kathy loved life and believed in living each day to the fullest. In 2008, after 18 years of remission, her breast cancer returned. In her trademark way, she fought back with her strength, her army of friends, and her good humor. On August 1, 2015, after seven years of fighting, she passed. Her spirit, joy, and lessons are still with us. We all miss her so much and knew that we had to do something big to honor her life. For the past 2 years we gathered our mom’s tribe –her best girlfriends- and planned and hosted a fundraiser at the Crescent Beach Club in Bayville (on the beach of course) on a beautiful summer day. We were able to laugh, share memories, and raise money for this award. We love that we can now use an incredibly sad time to celebrate our mom’s life. As her daughters (and fellow Mercy girls), we are excited to honor her memory and legacy by giving this award to a girl that embodies her spirit and love of nursing. We feel that this will carry on our Mom’s legacy for generations to come and support the future of nurses aka YOU!We thank you for taking the time to apply and fill out this application. We promise to use our hearts and our mom’s memory to guide us in the right direction.Megan & Katie Award Overview:The Kathy Stewart Memorial Award is a $10,000 award distributed throughout four years.
