Cathy spent many years working for the Syracuse City School District as a teacher, dedicating herself to her community with kindness and commitment.
She found joy in life’s simple pleasures. Cathy loved listening to music, reading, and spending time with her family. She especially cherished being near the water—whether at the beach or enjoying peaceful days by the pool at her home. She was a beautiful storyteller, known for the humor, warmth, and vivid detail she brought to every memory she shared.
Cathy will be remembered for her love of family, her gentle spirit, and the way she found meaning in everyday moments.
