Kathleen Alfieri

Kathleen Alfieri, a resident of Randolph, passed away on June 23, 2024. She was born in Hoboken on November 16, 1934, to John and Marion (Ward) Kiely. Kathleen’s roots were in Garfield where she raised her children before moving to Randolph about 30 years ago.

Kathleen was a woman of deep faith, a devout Irish Catholic who found joy in singing with the church choir. Her voice uplifted many hearts during services. She had a passion for old movies and was known for her exceptional talent in baking, especially her renowned apple crumb, which earned her gold medals at bake-offs.

Kathleen is survived by her loving children Donna Alfieri (Patricia); Andrea Duda; and Andrew Alfieri (Cary). She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren Kiely, Alexis “Allie,” and Matthew. Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband, Andrew, in 2018, and her siblings, Marcella, Ann and Garry.

Kathleen will be remembered for her warmth, generosity and culinary skills that brought joy to many. Her family and friends will miss her dearly.

A funeral mass will be held Monday, July 1, 2024, at 11 a.m. at St. Matthew’s RC Church, Randolph. Kathleen has been entrusted under the care of Newbaker Funeral Home, Blairstown.
