DORY-O'NEILL, Kathleen Marie. March 25, 2025. Age 72. Beloved partner of Patrick O'Neill. Proud and adored mother of Kelly O'Neill (Matthew Tack), Shannon (James) Turner and Kristin O'Neill (Daniel Smith). Loving step-mother of Thomas O'Neill, Joseph O'Neill and Colleen (Adam) Regnier. Cherished grandmother of Genevieve, Melina, Emory, James, Viviana, Benjamin, Samuel, Everett, Will and Jolene. Dear sister of Jim (Estrella) Dory, Steve Dory, Tim (Mirella) Dory and the late Robert Dory. Predeceased by her parents Harold and Lorraine Dory. Survived by many additional extended family members and friends.
Kathleen was the best Mother and Grandmother (Grammy) who loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. She took special interest in home decor, organizing, and watching (and giggling at) funny shows and movies. Gift giving was her love language and she always remembered every birthday, special occasion, and milestone of her loved ones. Although she never wanted to be the center of attention, she made a big mark on the world by demonstrating selflessness and sharing her kind heart with those around her. She will be sorely missed.
Visitation Monday from 3-9pm at Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons, Inc. 36900 Schoenherr at Metro Parkway (16 Mile). Instate Tuesday from 9am until the time of the 9:30am Mass at St Rene Goupil Catholic Parish, 35955 Ryan Rd, Sterling Heights, MI 48310. Interment at Resurrection Cemetery. Flowers are welcome as she loved them. Memorial contributions can be made to the Maria Lida Foundation (a charity started by her daughter that she supported). Please share memories with the family at their "On-Line Guestbook" at WujekCalcaterra.com.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
