Kathleen M. “Kate” DeLello (McGowan), age 52, of Canton passed away March 22nd at home surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Boston, she was raised in Canton and graduated from Canton High School and Westfield State University. After a brief career as an elementary school teacher, Kate cherished her role in her favorite job as director of operations at home as a mother, wife, aunt, sister and daughter.

She was an active parishioner of St. Gerard Majella Church in Canton where she previously taught CCD and volunteered for many events in support of her children’s involvement in the youth activities of the church. Kate was also a proud member of the Milton Hoosic Club, for many years where she enjoyed many times with friends and family.
