Catherine M. Zaretzka

I just now learned about Cathy, and I'm so sorry to hear this news. She was a terrific person: kind, thoughtful, funny, understanding, smart.... I'm lucky to have known her.

Cathy's friends and family have my sincere sympathy and best wishes.

My deepest thoughts and prayers to Uncle Mike and cousin Angela.


I will forever miss and love you Aunt Cathy. I know you are looking down upon us all and I will continue to look up to you and smile.

Michael and Angela~ James & I are so sorry for your lost...our Lord & Creator is taking great care of Cathy now. Any time either of you two need an ear, I'm here~ Diana L. Martin(& James D. Martin)

Aunt Cathy was a wonderful woman, and she touched the lives of many. She will be missed so much more than any words can express.

I will always hold you in my heart, Aunt Cathy.

So sorry you lost your dear Cathy. She was such a special lady. I'm so glad I got to know her while working at GTE. It's hard to make sense of it all. Warmest wishes to her family.

I am another GTE/GD old-timer (30 years). I didn't get to know Cathy very well as our work paths didn't cross until end of 2006. News of the extent of her illness was a shock to all. She was very courageous in her battle and an inspiration in her quiet strength over the past years. May you find peace in loving memories of Cathy, and may the Lord be close to you during all the sad times ahead.

Z-Man, I was so sorry to hear about Cathy. My thoughts are with you and Angela. Take care. Stephanie Hinshaw

While I didn't know Cathy very well at GD, I used to run into her in the Graphics/ Print Shop area visiting Marcia Vierra, Ray Arnold and Tita Garcia.

I am thankful for the strength that she exhibited during her health battle....she was a definite inspiration to everyone. My prayers now go out to her entire family and dear friends who have truly been "the wind beneath her wings".

God bless you all.

My dear friend, Mama Z. You have been a light in my life. Your memory will live on in your amazing daughter, beautiful Mama, your incredible husband, your oldest friend Debbie Rose and your dedicated and loving family, especially your brothers. Thank you for all your personal support to me as a best friend, sister and Mama. You have been a blessing to many of the alumni from St. Clare school.
