Kathy L. Chrismer, MD July 15, 1956 to December 16, 2023

Dr. Kathy L. Chrismer, 67, of Paxton, passed away on December 16, 2023. She was a close and cherished colleague of mine. We started practicing at Fallon Clinic in July 1988. She was beloved by staff, patients and their families. She continued to practice at Fallon Clinic/Reliant Medical Group for nearly 20 years until joining a private practice in Holden. Her practice style was characterized by kindness, efficiency, and clinical acumen.

Kathy graduated from Nottingham High School, Syracuse, New York where she was part of the jazz and symphonic bands, playing saxophone. She studied biochemistry at Smith College and went on to earn her medical degree at the University of Rochester. She completed her pediatric residency at Strong Memorial Hospital.

She leaves her life partner, Steve Crowe, her brother and sister, their spouses and beloved nieces and nephews. She loved the outdoors and was an avid hiker and skier. She was a great animal lover having had horses, rabbits, and always at least one dog in her life. At each stage of her life she made close and lasting friendships and I am pleased to have been one of them. Her joie de vivre was contagious.
