Kathryn Allen Rabuzzi attended Radcliffe College for two years before dropping out in 1958 to get married and start a family. She raised three sons while her husband, Dan, completed medical school and his residency. Ten years later, they settled in Syracuse, New York.
Rabuzzi earned her bachelor's and master's and a doctorate within six years at Syracuse University, where she also became a part-time English instructor. She has published three academic theology books about sacred femininity and motherhood. Additionally, she penned a memoir about childhood titled Rotting Floorboards and Debut Dreams: Tripping through Childhood before LSD, a literary novel entitled Just Do It, and a follow-up memoir called What? Did Harvard Admissions Make a Mistake?
Rabuzzi and her husband, who have been married for over fifty years, continue to live in Syracuse.
