Kathleen (Kathi) Dumond

Kathi Dumond (nee Huberty) age 80, passed away on February 27, 2023 after a brief battle with breast cancer. Kathi was born on May 25, 1942 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Frank and Marie (nee Thill) Huberty. One of ten children, Kathi grew up in St. Paul's Frogtown neighborhood and then its East Side, and attended Good Counsel High School in Mankato, MN. Kathi married Ralph Dumond in 1966 after meeting on a blind date in 1965 at the New York World's Fair. She was a devoted homemaker and loving mother to her four children, Marie Johnson (Brian), Kathryn Trubia (John), Deidre Franzen (Brian), and William (Colleen). After spending close to 25 years in New York, she returned to Minnesota in 1991with Ralph after his retirement from the NYPD. Kathi was an accomplished artist, specializing in painting in her later years. She loved sharing her passion for arts with her grandchildren, and passed many of her talents on to them. Entertaining family was one of her favorite ways to spend time. She is preceded in death by her parents, her mother- and father-in-law Clement and Neoma Dumond, her brothers Frank, Raymond, and William, and her sisters Jacqueline Soebbing and MaryClare Huberty. She is survived by her husband of 56 years, her children and their spouses, her grandchildren Ashley Muhl (Kurt), John Trubia, Jr. (Megan), Michael Trubia (Sarah), Ryan Trubia, Katie Dumond, Abbey Dumond and Maggie Dumond, and her great granddaughter, Elaina Trubia. She is also survived by her brothers Donald (Midge), Leonard (Barbara), and Joseph, and her sister Geraldine Lambach, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends, all who will miss her dearly. Kathi's Catholic faith was very strong and important to her, and she spent the latter part of her life volunteering her time to charities and helping others through her church, especially the Appalachian Christmas and the Uganda missions.
