She was the brilliant shining star, the hope for tomorrow that held us together.

She is survived by her daughters Nancy Rose Oliveri Stephan of Tucson; and Antonia "Toni" Marie Oliveri Marine (Brian) of Chandler; her granddaughter Katrina Rose Stephan of Gilbert; brother Joseph "Pete" Dimercurio; niece Theresa, nephew Michael and their families all of Tucson. Kathy is also survived by nieces and nephews out of state and stepson, Scott Triplett of Maryland. She is predeceased in death by her husbands - Antonio "Anthony" Oliveri and Ellsworth C Triplett; her parents, Thomas Dimercurio and Rose Scandalito Dimercurio Hill; brothers Samuel and Pasquale Dimercurio; sister Frances Dimercurio Western; and son-in-law William Stephan.
