Kathleen M. (Dromgoole) Gunion, 84, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 7, 2025. Born in Providence, she was the beloved daughter of the late Thomas J. Dromgoole Jr. and Leafy Mae (Craig) Dromgoole. Kathleen was the loving grandmother of Nikolas Rozzero, Veda-Lea Ruggieri and Bobby Dromgoole Jr; great-grandmother of Kalvin Godinez and Nevaeh Goodenough. She is also survived by her loving sisters Patty and Nancy. Kathleen is predeceased by her beloved children Robert Dromgoole Sr. and Robin Lea Brooks; as well as her sister Paula, brother Thomas and late husband Phillip.

A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Kathleen found her greatest joy in time spent with her grandchildren-especially during peaceful afternoons watching the boats drift by at Oakland Beach. She found comfort in life's simple pleasures, spending quiet moments at home with her beloved cats and her favorite game shows. Above all, Kathleen deeply loved her family, who will miss her beyond measure.
