Kathleen D'Innocenzo Obituary

NATICK Born Kathleen Glynn on April 23, 1911, in the small village of Feevaughmore, County Roscommon, Ireland, she was the second daughter of Malachy and Maria (Early) Glynn. In 1928, her aunt brought her to America opening a new world to her. She met and married her beloved husband, Mario A. DInnocenzo, during World War II, and they shared 57 years together before his death in August 2002. Kathleen "Mrs. D" leaves behind five very grateful children and their families, Paul of Natick and his wife, Suzanne, along with their sons, Matt and Dan, Teresa of Natick, along with Robert Marchetti, Larry of Natick and his son, Dom, of Southborough, Nancy Spence of Natick, along with Bill Schultz, and Maria of North Quincy, along with Jack Doherty. She also leaves behind her sisters-in-law, Mary Blais of Cochituate, Dotty Corsi and her husband, Benny, of Ashland Mary DInnocenzo of Louisville, Ky.; and brother-in-law, Fred Roberts of Cochituate. Last but not least, she leaves behind many who called her Aunt, Auntie and Friend. She was for many years a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, serving as historian. In the past, she also belonged to St. Zepherin Catholic Womens Club, where she was a devout communicant for more than 55 years. She loved her family, Irish music, dancing and above all, God, who called her to heaven from the arms of her daughters on Oct. 21, 2008, at MetroWest Medical Center in Natick, after a brief illness. Her favorite hobby was loving those around her. Her love and faith will be missed by all who knew her. Visitations will be held Friday, Oct. 24, from 4 to 8 p.m., at John C. Bryant Funeral Home, 56 Pemberton Road (off Rte. 30), Cochituate Village, Wayland. Family and friends may gather at the funeral home Saturday, Oct. 25, at 9:30 a.m., followed by her Mass of Christian burial at 10:30 a.m. at St. Zepherin Church, 99 Main St. (Rte. 27), Cochituate Village, Wayland. Interment will follow in the DInnocenzo family lot in Lakeview Cemetery, Cochituate Village, Wayland. In lieu of flowers, please practice an act of human kindness for her soul. She will smile down on you all the days of your life.

To the D'Innoncenzo & Glynn family:
This is from Kathleen's cousins from Feevagh, Dysart, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. (The Feeney's - Una & family, Kevin and Johnjoe). We are so sorry to hear of Kathleen's recent passing - please accept our deepest sympathy to you all. It was a delight to visit Kathleen and family whilst we vacationed with Rosemary & Kathleen on a couple of precious occasions down the years. We will remember her as a beautiful and special person who had a kind and generous welcome for us all. We loved the fun and happiness she created for all in her presence. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all until we meet again. Submitted on behalf of family by Una's daughter Mary.

To Auntie Kathleen and Uncle Mario's Family,

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I loved Auntie Kathleen and never willingly missed a chance to visit her home in Natick to listen to her great stories and eat her world famous spaghetti sauce. My family and I went to Ireland this summer (as I'm sure you've heard), and we saw her childhood home and it was beautiful. I wish I could've been home for the funeral/wake, but your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll always remember Auntie Kathleen's picture of "A traffic jam in Ireland!"

Love,
Amy Brown
(Marian and Vinnie's daughter)

Larry, This is Barbara's sister Pat Glynn Herne. I will never forget how gracious and kind your Mother was to let me visit to discuss common ancestors in Roscommon County. It was a memorable day for me, since she had such vivid memories of the villages she grew up in and a quick wit and delightful sense of joy for life, for someone of her age. She was lovely and I am sure she will be surely missed. My prayers go out to you and your family. I am sure her spirit is with God and will remain in your heart forever. Patricia Glynn Herne

To Maria and Family, Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. I hear from my brothers that she was the "cutest and sweetest lady" that you would ever want to meet. The loss of a mother has to be one of the hardest things in life but we pray that all the happy memories will lessen the grief. Love, Dennis and Nancy
