Kelly Ann Catrambone (née Dibeler) passed away suddenly at age of 57 years old on September 29, 2023. She was a resident of Dracut, Massachusetts for the past 9 years but was born and raised in South Philadelphia and spent most of her teenage years working Food Concessions at Veterans Stadium. Kelly received her bachelor's degree in Political Science and Government from Widener University and worked as a Counselor in North Philadelphia Health System and a Clinical Coordinator at Interventions in Chicago, Illinois. After receiving her master's degree at National Louis University, she accepted an Associate Director position at Professional Consultations in West Dundee, Illinois.
Kelly was a devoted and loving wife to Michael Catrambone for 32 wonderful years of marriage which took them to many areas of the country including Illinois, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. Even though Kelly was far away from family most of the year she still managed to support, guide, and visit family several times a year and all holidays to maintain a commitment to her family in the Philadelphia area.
Kelly seemed to bring out the best in everyone she knew with her positive compassionate attitude, kind heart, and beauty from the inside out. We will greatly miss her infectious smile and her being an integral part of our lives, but it is reassuring to know that Heaven has gained an Angel to care for us as we continue our journey through life.
Kelly was preceded in death by her father, James Dibeler and is survived not only by her husband Michael but also by her loving mother, Kathy Dibeler, sisters Sonya and Monica Dibeler, niece Celeste Dibeler as well as nephews, nieces, cousins, and countless friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to her VIEWING Friday evening October 13, 2023 7pm-9pm and Saturday morning October 14, 2023 8:30am-9:30am at Monti - Rago Funeral Home 2531-35 S.
