Kathleen Massett

Kathleen Ann (Snow) Massett, age 85, of Hampton, NH, died on Monday, June 19, 2023. Kathleen (Kathy/Kate/Grika) was born on September 27, 1937, in Chicago, IL and was the daughter of the late Gladys and Walter Snow. She was raised in Chicago, IL and graduated from Chicago’s Lakeview High School in 1955. Kathleen was dedicated to helping others through her long term commitment as a volunteer in her church. She cherished her beach house and life in Plaice Cove Hampton, where she and her husband moved in 1997 after raising four children in Manchester, CT. Kathleen had an enormously clever and creative personality and loved a good prank! She was an avid and talented gardener, baker, sewer, and known for her artistry and crafts and the ability to repair just about anything. She was the family glue and historian of her numerous relatives spread across the country. Kathleen’s career started as a dental hygienist and evolved into managing and consulting for dental offices. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 43 years, William (Bill) Massett, and her adored son, Jay Massett (Chicago, IL). Kathleen also was predeceased by her brother, Walter Snow, Jr. Kathleen is survived by her three daughters, Kimberly Massett (husband, Patrick J. Collins) of Hampton, NH, Holly Massett (husband, Lawrence Duff Jr.) of Takoma Park, MD, and Nancy Massett (owner, In-Dog-Neat-O) of Hampton, NH. She also is survived by two granddaughters, Sophia Duff and Madison Jardin (husband, Patrick Jardin) and one great grandson, Rory Jardin and soon to be great-granddaughter (both of Madison and Patrick). Kathleen was an amazing and dedicated grandmother who treasured her grandchildren dearly. She also had a love for animals, particularly the ones she inherited from her children (lol)! Kathleen will be truly missed by all who knew her and crossed her path. There will be a celebration of life memorial service for Kathleen at the Community Congregational Church of Greenland (CCCG, 2 Post Rd, Greenland, NH 03840) on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at 11 a.m., with a reception to follow at the church parish hall. Memorial contributions in memory of Kathleen may be made to CCCG “missions and benevolences” to support their food pantry (https://www.greenlanducc.org/).
