1957 – 2014

LISBON FALLS — Kathleen T. (Fowler) Trask, 57, the wife of Lee W. Trask of Upland Road in Lisbon Falls, died Wednesday, Sept. 10, at her home, following a sudden illness.

Born in Ipswich, Mass., on July 17, 1957, she was a daughter of the late Russell W. and Eleanor M. (Holland) Fowler of Ipswich, where she was raised and attended public schools.

For many years, she was employed as a health care worker, having worked in a residential mental health facility in Ipswich, Mass., and at the former Caldwell Nursing Home in Ipswich. She had also been employed as a part-time shellfish processor at the former Soffron’ Bros. Shellfish in Ipswich.

Married in 1997, Kathy and her husband, Lee, soon made Lisbon Falls their home. Kathy enjoyed her many days boating and fishing with her husband. She also enjoyed home gardening and her many cats. She was an avid cribbage player, having won many tournaments on the “K Club” Cribbage Team. In retirement, she spent much of her time playing computer games and communicating with her Facebook friends.

In addition to her husband of 17 years, Lee, she is survived by a son, Daniel Trask, of Gloucester, Mass.; three daughters, Jamie Fowler and Julie Radzyin, both of Lisbon Falls, and Samantha Laframboise of North Dakota; a brother, Russell Fowler Jr., of Ipswich, Mass.; two sisters, Lorraine Fowler of Ipswich, Mass., and Marie Constantio of Lisbon; 11 grandchildren; and many nephews and nieces.

She was the mother of the late Charles Fowler, formerly of Ipswich, Mass.

For friends and relatives who use Facebook, her family has started a group called the Life and Times of Kathy Trask (Fowler) for all to enjoy and share pictures, videos and comments. For directions or to leave a condolence for her family, please visit www.whittier-porter.com.
