BALDWIN, Kate Elizabeth Blue, born December 23, 1917, died September 22, 2023 at Rosedale Green in Covington, Kentucky at the age of 105.
Kate was born and raised in Hawkinsville, Georgia until her family moved to Atlanta when she was in college. Kate married Donovan Appleton Baldwin on June 15, 1940 and was devoted to him in marriage until his death in 1981. They resided in Pensacola, Florida for the majority of their marriage. Her passion was teaching, and she taught at multiple parochial schools before settling in at St. Thomas More, where she retired after 25 years. In 1970, Kate earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of West Florida. After Donovan’s death, she moved to Stone Mountain, Georgia where she lived for approximately 27 years.

I was a third grade student of Mrs. Baldwin’s at St. Thomas More in Pensacola in 1971-1972. I remember her very fondly. She was a great teacher and kind person. May she rest in eternal peace with our Father in Heaven.
