I’ve only been active for 5 years in the pro-life community here in New Hampshire. I’ve met some wonderful and extremely dedicated people during these years, however I don’t believe I ever had the privilege of meeting Kathleen Saffian. Kathleen passed away at the end of November.
A sweet, loving and generous person, Kathleen was devoted to her family and her community. And as her family put it, “she was especially devoted to the protection of the unborn”. Even in her passing, the memory of Kathleen is still alive and still devoted to the prolife work here in New Hampshire. At her family’s request, charitable donations have been made to New Hampshire Right to Life in her name. I would like to thank each person and organization that has donated in her memory. Thank you Kathleen Saffian for your dedication to protecting the most vulnerable in our society, the preborn.

That sure was Mom, through and through. I remember being a freshman in high school back in Willimantic, Connecticut, 1971, and my buddies telling me that they heard my Mom – again!! – on the radio talking about how we mustn’t legalize abortion!!! She never lost her zeal for life – raising 7 children, moving our young family to New Hampshire, and becoming part of the pro-life movement here. She and Dad were devoutly Catholic and never took their eyes off their spiritual north star, Jesus. What a mercy to think of her in our Lord’s embrace.
Thank you NHRTL – Keep up God’s work.
