Born on December 13, 1945, in Providence, Rhode Island, to the late Vincent and Veronica R. (Riley) Grossi.

Kathleen's life was a testament to her unwavering spirit and her educational journey led her to the Salter School in Worcester, Massachusetts, where she earned an Associate's Degree in Medical Transcription, a field in which she would excel and leave a lasting impact.

Kathleen's career was marked by dedication and professionalism, particularly during her tenure as a Supervisor for the Medical Transcription Department at Newton Wellesley Hospital. Her meticulous nature and leadership skills were highly regarded, having worked in many area hospitals throughout the Boston region.

Beyond her professional life, Kathleen's heart was always with her family. She is survived by her loving children, her daughter Amy DiBari of Centerville, MA, and her son Johnathan DiBari and his wife Sara of Gardner, MA. Kathleen's guidance and love shaped their lives profoundly, and her legacy will continue through them.

She was a sister to three remarkable women, Regina Kana and her husband Mark of Flanders, New Jersey, Maureen Laquerre and her husband Leo of Summerville, South Carolina, and Veronica Taft of Summerville, South Carolina. She was also an aunt and great-aunt to many nieces and nephews.
