Kathleen Dipzinski Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Allen Funeral Home - Davison on Jan. 25, 2026.
DIPZINSKI, Kathleen Ann (Pemberton) – of Davison, MI, age 83, passed away Saturday, January 24, 2026. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 1 PM Friday, January 30, 2026 at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 404 North Dayton Street, Davison, MI 48423; Rev. Fr. Andrew A. Czajkowski celebrant. Interment immediately following the Mass in St. John Catholic Cemetery. The family will receive visitors 11 AM-7 PM Thursday, January 29, 2026 at Allen Funeral Home, 9136 Davison Road, Davison, MI 48423 and 12-1 PM Friday, January 30, 2026 at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, in Kathleen's memory.

Kathleen was born in Flint, MI on October 7, 1942, daughter of the late Clayton and Helen (Hill) Pemberton. On July 8, 1961, she married the love of her life, Gerald L. Dipzinski, and together they built a life centered on love, faith, and adventure. Gerald preceded her in death on July 27, 2018, and Kathleen carried his memory with her always. Kathleen was a longtime member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, where her faith guided her throughout her life. She retired from NBD Bank in Flint, MI, after many years of dedicated service, and took pride in her strong work ethic and professionalism. An avid traveler, Kathleen cherished the years she and Gerald spent journeying together in a caravan of RVs, making memories on the open road. She also loved camping, being outdoors, and tending to her flower garden, where her care and patience were reflected in every bloom. Kathleen was a graduate of Davison High School, Class of 1960, and went on to earn an Associate's Degree from Baker Business School-accomplishments she valued and that helped shape her career and independence.

Above all, Kathleen will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her devotion to family and faith, and the quiet grace with which she lived her life. Her legacy lives on in the memories she created and the love she shared.

Kathleen is survived by her 5 children, Jerry Dipzinski, Tony (Dawn) Dipzinski, Helen Frey, Amy (Fremont) Jones and Aggie (Beau) Aldridge; 9 grandchildren, Clayton Dipzinski, Shannon (Ella) Lyons, Alyssa (David) Roth, Anthony (Renae) Dipzinski, Kayla Frey, Sydney Frey, D.J. Jones, Garrett Jones and Hayden McCoy; 5 great-grandchildren, Lincoln Roth, Forrest Roth, Arthur Roth, AJ Dipzinski and Mason Dipzinski; many other loving family members and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clayton and Helen Pemberton; husband, Gerald L. Dipzinski; sister, Agnes (Matt) Sazy and brother, William Pemberton.

I worked with Kathy at Genesee Bank for several years during proof dept/ data entry, late 70's, thru 80's. Kathy, myself, Colette Simerson took a road trip to Pigeon Forge, for they BIG Gatlinburg craft show in 1983 . First trip Kathy had ever gone on with the girls without Jerry. It was a very big deal. Before cell phones. Colette & I also helped out at one of the kids weddings that Jerry catered. I loved Kathy & remember all the kindness & advice she directed my way in the day.

Kathy, myself & Colette Simerson went on a girls get away to Gatlinburg, TN. Kathy had never taken a vacation time away from Jerry or family for a girls weekend. It was a great time for all of us girlfriends. That's how I remember Kathy.

I worked with Kathy over 50 years ago. She was the sweetest, kindest person that made my first office job a great experience. God speed to a golden soul.
