Kathy Marinucci, editor of Fairfax County Stories 1607–2007, was born and raised in the Gettysburg area of Pennsylvania. She attended the Pennsylvania State University and moved to Virginia in 1980, when she worked as supervising proofreader for a typesetting company in Arlington. After 11 years in that capacity, she chose to stay home to raise her two children.
 
Over the 15 years in that capacity, she worked as a freelance proofreader and editor. In 2001, she began writing the regular column “Musings of a Soccer Mom” for the Chronicle Newspapers and the Thurmont Times Monthly.
Still working in a freelance capacity, Kathy Marinucci is now a book editor and a columnist for the Thurmont Times Monthly, as well as calendar editor, copyeditor, and occasional contributor to the Chronicle Newspapers. Of course, she hopes to publish her own book soon. Kathy Marinucci describes herself as a typographer.
 
She and her husband, Joe Marinucci (who drew the map for Fairfax County Stories 1607–2007 and writes “What’s in a Name?” for the Chronicle Newspapers), are the parents of two teenagers and obedient slaves of two cats. They have lived in Springfield for 22 years.
