Written by Nhau Mangirazi
After serving for 40 years at Chidamoyo Mission Hospital in Hurungwe district in Mashonaland West, Sister Kathy McCarty breathed her last on May 26 in the United States.
She was 66.
Her memorial service was held in the United States on Friday and there are plans to repatriate her body to Zimbabwe to fulfil her wish to be buried near Chidamoyo Mission Hospital.
McCarty is said to have identified a place (anthill) near the hospital where she wanted her remains to be interred under local burial rites.
Although she had a home in Batanai village in Hurungwe's ward 13, McCarty chose to be buried near the hospital where she served for four decades.
Hurungwe community lost a dedicated woman who helped locals to access medication during trying times.
