She loved to cook, and was devoted to her faith and her church. She was a longtime parishioner at Immaculate Conception Church in N. Cambridge and was involved with the Ladies Sodality, Altar Guild and organized the CCD program. Kathleen enjoyed weekends in New Hampshire with family and other parishioners.When her daughter was at Matignon High School, she served on the Mother's Guild. More than anything, she was a caring, nurturing mom who was always willing to help, especially with her children, and grandchildren. She will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her.

Kathleen was the beloved wife of the late Anthony DiPinto with whom she shared nearly 50 years of marriage. Devoted mother of Richard DiPinto and his wife Cheryl of Somers, CT, and Donna Cucuzza and her husband Joseph of Saugus. Loving sister of the late Anthony "Bobby" Scolles and his surviving wife Mary of Cotuit, and the late Dolores Riordan and her late husband Jimmy.
