Katherine A. Guild

Katherine A. (Ceruti) Guild, age 61, passed away in the Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Massachusetts on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. Born in Norwood, Massachusetts on December 19, 1954, she was the daughter of the late Oliver Paul and Helena K. (Brown) Ceruti. She was raised in Walpole, attending Boyden Elementary School and the East Junior High School, before graduating from Walpole High School with the Class of 1972. She continued her education at Massasoit Community College to earn her Associates Degree.

After graduation, she moved to Houston, Texas and worked for the Kelly Girl Temp Agency as a secretary for various companies. She returned to Walpole in 1985 and took a position with Wolkins Paper Company and later Bird and Son Roofing, which later became Certainteed.

Katherine married her husband, Bruce W. Guild, Jr., on May 23, 1992 and together they made their home in Mansfield, Massachusetts. In 2010, they purchased a cottage in Wells, Maine, where she loved spending her summer weekends. After her retirement in 2013, she and Bruce spent their summers together in their cottage.

She was a devoted family woman, who loved hosting parties and get-togethers for her family. As a talented cook, she enjoyed the holidays and cookouts, where she could make a large meal to feed everyone. Katherine did make time for herself and her husband, as they had a standing dinner date with friends every Friday. Most of all, she cherished the time she spent caring for her two grandchildren, Logan and Maddie.
