Kathleen T. Conroy

Kathleen Theresa (Power) Conroy passed away peacefully surrounded by her husband and children on July 6, 2024 after a nearly 5-year battle with ovarian cancer. Up until the end, Kathy maintained her grace, compassion, wit, humor, love of family and friends and expressed gratitude for her life which was blessed with love, faith, travel and laughter.
Kathy was born on September 16, 1945 in Boston, MA. She grew up in Dorchester and attended St. Gregory's School before earning her Undergraduate Degree in Teaching at Emmanuel College. Kathy moved on to earn her Master's Degree at Boston College. It was during her tenure at B.C. that Kathy met the love of her life Robert, to whom she married in 1973 at St. Elizabeth's Church, Milton the town that Kathy and Bob would soon buy their family home on Artwill Street and start their life together.
Kathy taught primarily special eduation in Randolph Public Schools for over 35 years where she touched the lives of many students, families and fellow staff members. She was very proud of her time spent in Randolph but the accomplishment she was most proud of was her family. Kathy was the devoted mother to Tom Conroy of Milton (wife Kim), Mary Beth Wilder of Hingham (husband Chuck) and Annie Conklin of Canton (husband Jay). Kathy loved her children fiercely but nothing brought her more joy then her role of "Nana" to her "adorable and loving" grandchildren Charlie (16), Duncan (13), Emme (13), Maeve (11), Corinne (8) and Brendan (7). Regardless of location or weather, Kathy and Bob could be found on any given day cheering on her adoring grandchildren from the stands or sidelines as their biggest fans.
Predeceased by her parent's Edward and Mary Power, sister Ann-Marie Simon and her husband Dick, and nephew Brian Jennings, Kathy leaves behind siblings Elaine Schneider (husband Bob), Edna Jennings (husband Dick), Steve Power, Marty Power (wife Laurie), and Joe Power (wife Mary), many wonderful nieces and nephews who she loved very much and her adoring husband Bob, who was a loyal companion and her "angel" until the very end.
Kathy always made every person she was with feel like the most special person in the world and forged so many deep friendships throughout her life spanning throughout Massachusetts and Florida. She was deeply thankful for the prayers and support of Father Unni of St. Cecilia Parish, Boston and the "wonderful staff that work on Beth Israel Oncology especially Dr. Shea, Dr. Garrett, Fiona, Kate, Erin and Amanda".
