    Kathleen R. Roy

    July 12, 1954 - December 7, 2020

    FITCHBURG: Kathleen R. Roy, 66, of Cape Coral, FL formerly of Templeton and Fitchburg, lost her two year battle with brain cancer, Monday, December 7, 2020 in the Hope Hospice House of Cape Coral, FL. Kathy was born in Fitchburg on July 12, 1954, the daughter of Kathleen (Gallagher) and the late Philip Sacino, Jr. and resided there before moving to Templeton in 1986. She and her husband would summer in Vermont and winter at their Florida home in Cape Coral. She was a Fitchburg High School graduate and attended Worcester State College. After studying under the late Alice Corlis, Kathy became an entrepreneur who created and operated Kathy Roy’s School of Dance in Fitchburg and Westminster for 32 years prior to her retirement in 2014. She instilled a love of dance into her students. She taught hundreds of children not just the technique of dance but the love of an art form and confidence to use in all aspects of their lives. She enjoyed spending time with her family and traveling with her husband, Ray. She was never afraid to try something new and was always up for an adventure. She enjoyed dancing, riding her motorcycle, hiking, skiing, kayaking, biking, fishing, golfing, and pickle ball. Most of all, she enjoyed dancing with her husband whenever the opportunity arose. In fact, the dance floor is the very first place they laid eyes on each other. She will be forever in our hearts and deeply missed by all who new her. Kathy leaves her husband of 34 years Raymond R. Roy of Cape Coral, FL; two daughters Kara K. Gallant and her husband, Wess of Templeton and Melissa M. Walsh and her husband, Sean of Ashburnham; her mother, Kathleen M. (Gallagher) Sacino of Fitchburg; three brothers, David Sacino of Clinton, Philip Sacino of Palm Springs, CA and Bruce Sacino of Nantucket; her step-children, Lisa Cameron of Phillipston and Eric Roy and his wife, Roxanne of Calmar, IA; five grandchildren Luke, Hanna, Levi, Aiden and Liam; step- grandchildren, Patrick, Roman, Alexa, Halley, Grace, and Hope; a great-granddaughter, Alivia and several nephews and nieces. Her funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 10 AM in St. Joseph’s Church, 49 Woodland St., Fitchburg. Calling hours will be held on Friday, December 18, 2020 from 4 to 7 PM in the Isabelle & Anderson Funeral Home, 316 Clarendon St., Fitchburg.
