Catherine M. Dunsmore

April 13, 2006

Catherine M. Dunsmore, 63, of 26 Lowden St. died Thursday at Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center from complications due to an aneurysm.

Born in Pittsfield on Sept. 12, 1942, daughter of the late James E. and Catherine Flynn McGill, she graduated from Pittsfield High School in 1960 and from the former St. Luke's School of Nursing in 1964.

Ms. Dunsmore was a charge nurse on the night shift in the emergency department at Berkshire Medical Center for nearly 40 years. Before that, she was head nurse at the former St. Luke's Hospital.

She was a communicant of St. Teresa's Church and a member of the Massachusetts Nurses Association and the St. Luke's Alumnae Association.

She leaves two brothers, James McGill of Westwood and Thomas McGill of Pittsfield.
