Katherine (Dumais) Micciche, 75, of Pelham, New Hampshire, passed away Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
She was the beloved wife for over 52 years of Diego G. Micciche, who survives her.
Born on October 8, 1949, in Skowhegan, Maine, she was the oldest child of the late Eleanor (Lunna) and the late Emile Dumais.
Kathy was raised and educated in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. She graduated from Framingham State College in 1971 with a BS in Education and began teaching middle school home economics.
On New Year's Eve in 1971, she met Diego, and they were married by that June of 1972. In 1974, they moved to Pelham, NH and began raising their family.
Kathy became a stay-at-home mother, raising three sons and a daughter. Over the years, she continued to utilize her educator skills and home economic expertise by leading classes at the library and becoming an active Scout mom. The family traveled as much as possible over the years and Kathy created scrapbooks for each trip. Kathy and Diego also enjoyed square dancing and belonged to several groups in the local area. She would often create her own skirts and dresses for square dancing and matching shirts for Diego.
As the children grew older, Kathy worked at So-Fro Fabrics and Joann Fabrics. She lovingly made quilts for family members and toys and bibs for her grandchildren. Kathy and Diego continued to travel, often going on road trips throughout the United States and cruises around the world.
In addition to her parents, Kathy was predeceased by her brother-in-law, Robert Smith.
She is survived by her husband, Diego; four children, James of Pelham, NH, Jason and his wife Leanne of Milford, MA, Jeffrey and his wife Sara of Oneida, NY, and Jinger of Methuen, MA; and three grandchildren, Kira of Milford, MA and Garrett and Alexis of Oneida, NY. She is also survived by her two sisters, Pauline Smith of Uxbridge, MA and Dorothy Merullo and her husband Joseph of Framingham, MA, and several nephews and nieces.
Private services were held by the family. E-condolences at www.pelhamfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial contributions sent to Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation: www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/donate.
