She was the devoted and loving mother of Melissa (Bryan), beloved daughter of Luigi and the late Beverly, cherished sister of Rick (Donna), Donny (Gloria), the late Louie and her twin sister, the late Connie and she was the much adored aunt of her nieces and nephew, Crimson, Angela (Robbie), Stephanie and Matthew.
She will also be sorely missed by many relatives and friends.
Cathy simply loved to dance and sing. Her sense of fashion style was unique and she always managed to look like a million dollars, no matter what she pulled out of the closet. She was always the prettiest girl in the room.
Learning new things and improving her mind was vital to her. She read the Gazette and did her crossword puzzles daily and faithfully. From astronomy to zoology, every subject interested her. She enjoyed eating fine food and she was always eager to taste something new.
Most importantly, Cathy’s heart was made of solid gold and she truly was spunk personified. As the old adage goes “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” and that is what she did. We can all learn a valuable lesson from the example of her courage and strength of spirit.
Her appetite for life was voracious and she lived her life exactly the way she wanted to, right until her last breath. There is no doubt that Cathy passed away with a beaming smile on her face.
Her absence will leave a vast void in the lives of everyone who had the privelege and honour of knowing and loving her but perhaps remembering the many special qualities which made her so endearing to us will ease the pain just a little.
Rest in peace, darling Catherine.
