It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Kathleen Ann Ferrelli, 75, of Southington, who left us unexpectedly on August 7, 2026, surrounded by her family.
Born on July 20, 1951, in Waterbury, Kathleen (Kathy) lived a life defined by kindness and resilience. She was a breast cancer survivor and the longest living survivor for state of the art Scoliosis treatment from the mid 1960’s.
She is survived by her two children, Kim & Guy Ferrelli along with her life partner Sergio Martinez, and ex-husband Guy Ferrelli Sr.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Richard Pazera. Kathy also leaves behind beloved niece, Evelyn, and her sons along with their spouses and children.
Kathy attended Crosby High School, in Waterbury, graduating in 1970. She initially worked in retail, when the Waterbury Mall opened and eventually progressed to an administrative position for a financial consulting group, in Wallingford. Although she never sought the spotlight, she will always be remembered as a loving and caring individual. She always enjoyed having a small dog, Kaylie, her latest, who would always be beside her. Kathy was a collector of many items but always prized her extensive collection of Princess Diana dolls and figurines.
Kathy not only was a breast cancer survivor but an active donor in support of her best friend Lisa Dlugos, who passed away of breast cancer.
A visitation will be held on Saturday August 22, 2026 from 9 - 10:30 AM at DellaVecchia Funeral Home, 211 N. Main St. Southington. Interment with graveside prayers will follow at St. Thomas Cemetery 209 Belleview Ave., Southington at 11 AM.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her memory be made to either the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation at www.komen.org or Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, at www.connecticutchildrens.org.
Her love and gentle spirit will remain in our hearts forever.
