Mildred Katherine Kearns, (Grammy), longtime resident of Hudson NH, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Saturday July 1, 2017. She was born on October 27, 1929 in Somerville, Mass and was the daughter of the late Katherine (Sheehan) and Vincent James. Mildred loved her family fiercely. Her many grandchildren were the light of her life and she was so proud of each one of them. She was so excited for the upcoming birth of another great grandson. She loved her life as a mom and grandmother. Jigsaw puzzles were a favorite past time as was reading murder mysteries, jellybeans, a hot cup of tea, the ocean and her flower gardens. She loved blue bachelor buttons in particular. She had a witty sense of Irish humor and was always laughing sometimes not even knowing why. She was known for inventing new words including her infamous “Hazel Crispy”. You could find her doing her ironing and singing along with Willie Nelson. Her life was not an easy one but she faced her health issues head on. Through it all she remained funny and loving. She was a gentle, tender soul who made you feel unconditionally loved.

Kearns Jr of Hudson NH, son Paul Kearns and his wife Carol of Milford, son Stephen Kearns and his wife Gloria of Merrimack, daughter Jean (Kearns) Saytanides and her husband Jim of Milford, daughter Kathy (Kearns) Jarry and her husband Doug of Nashua, daughter Callie Kearns of Hudson, daughter Ellen (Kearns) Parsons and her husband Chris of Texas and daughter Arlene (Kearns) Boisvert and her husband Ralph of Nashua as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
