Tish COTTER Obituary

COTTER - Tish October 4, 1952 - August 17, 2013 Tish passed peacefully surrounded by family. Artist, skater, scriptwriter, calligrapher, translator and felinophile, she follows her sister Jane and father Barry into the next stage. Survived by her beloved Chester, mother Mary, eight siblings, eight nieces and nephews, dozens of cousins and scores of friends, Tish's supreme sense of style and contagious joie de vivre live on in the art she created, the friendships she made and the stories she told (that often went unfinished because she was laughing so hard.) A memorial mass will be celebrated on Friday Sept. 13th, at 2 PM, at St. Mark's Church, 401 Woodward Ave. Buffalo NY. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Calvary Hospital www.calvaryhospital.org

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My sincerest condolences to the family. I have fond memories of spending time every summer in the Cotter's tent! Recently I have thoroughly enjoyed Tish's posting on the CB site. She will be missed.

Tish and I attended St. Mark's Elementary School. We both loved Art and took a class together when we were in 8th grade. Via email, I was fortunate to see some of her wonderful Art a few years ago. She will be remembered in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Anne Falzone Perrello
