Catherine was a staunch Catholic who loved her family and always marveled as to how fortunate she was to have traveled the world in her later years. She continued to be generous to Cathedral HS and the sisters of Charity in New York.
The family would like to recognize Capital Hospice, INOVA Hospital in Lansdowne, Heritage Hall Rehabilitation (Leesburg) and Ashleigh Assisted Living (Lansdowne), all who provided exceptional care during her final days.
A Catholic mass will be scheduled at St John the Apostle, Leesburg, VA, in March and in NY at a later date. Interment will be private at a later date at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in 10 W Stevens Ave, Hawthorne, NY 10532, Hawthorne, NY. The family requests that no flowers be sent.
