THE CASEY FAMILY IS HONORED TO BE CARING FOR AND ASSISTING THE FAMILY OF CAROLYN "KIKI" TEHAN.
WATERBURY - Carolyn L. (Lawlor) "Kiki" Tehan, age 79 of Waterbury passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at Waterbury Hospital surrounded by the love and comfort of her family after an extended illness. She was the devoted wife of Martin M. Tehan Sr.
Kiki was born on January 30, 1940 in Waterbury CT, the daughter of the late Peter and Carolyn (Pollard) Lawlor. She was a graduate of St Francis Xavier Grammar School and Waterbury Catholic High School. She was a standout athlete in High School and excelled in basketball. She worked for many years as a Medical Transcriptionist at Waterbury Hospital. She also worked at the Bristol Company. Her love of sports in school carried on through her life as she was an avid UConn Women's Basketball and Boston Red Sox fan and enjoyed sports of all kinds on TV. She enjoyed occasional trips to the casino but what was most important to Kiki was her family as she was a devoted and loving, wife, mother and grandmother. You could always depend on her being at all of the kids sporting events, the consummate cheerleader. She was truly one of a kind, #TNT TallNTerrific. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know and love her.
