Catherine Ann Puget, 71, of Lincoln, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 15, 2025, at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence.
Born in Central Falls, she was the beloved daughter of the late Alfred and Elsie (Noble) DiPetrillo.
Catherine dedicated more than 30 years of her career to RI Energy (formerly Valley Resources). In retirement, she found joy in spending time with her two grandchildren, caring for her cat and her son's three dogs, and sharing her love of sewing. Many friends and family members treasure the handmade keychains, pillowcases, baby items, bags, and potholders she created.
She was predeceased by her parents; her twin brothers, Allen and Kenneth DiPetrillo; and her granddaughter, Charlotte Victoria Kerr.
Catherine is survived by her three children, Mindy Lee Kerr and her husband Robert of Narragansett, Tracy Ann Shaw and her husband Donald of Sterling, CT, and Stephen Andrew Puget of Cumberland; her brother, Alfred DiPetrillo of Florida; and her cherished grandchildren, Stone Dominic Shaw and Savannah May Kerr.
Her funeral will be held Monday, August 25, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. from Bellows Funeral Chapel, 160 River Road, Lincoln, with a Requiem Eucharist at 10:00 a.m. in Christ Church, 1643 Lonsdale Avenue, Lincoln. Burial will follow in Resurrection Cemetery, Cumberland. Relatives and friends are invited to calling hours on Sunday from 4:00 –7:00 p.m.
