Catherine (Lamont) Conroy Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 17, 2023.

 


Catherine Marie (Lamont) Conroy passed away peacefully on January 15, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.


Cathy was born July 19, 1957, to the late William and Mary Lamont of Scarborough, Maine. She is one of eight children.  Cathy graduated from Scarborough High school in 1976 then went on to University of Southern Maine College where she graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Criminal Justice.


Cathy worked part-time at the Scarborough Police Department one Summer and then worked in the Scarborough school system. On June 10th, 1978, she married the love of her life Jim Conroy. Cathy and Jim were married for 45 years and together they raised their one daughter, Mary aka “pumpkin.” Cathy started helping at the family business and in 1996 Cathy and Jim purchased Conroy’s Oil Service Inc. from Jim’s dad. Even after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she continued to work and help expand the business. Cathy always cherished the times she spent chatting with all the customers and employees. Later in life she enjoyed sitting on her porch watching birds, wildlife, and her family either swimming, grilling, or four-wheeling.


She is survived by her Husband James W. Conroy, Daughter Mary E. (Conroy) Thibonnier and husband Alexandre, two beautiful grandchildren, Mason Thibonnier and Harper Thibonnier, Sister Valarie Lamont, Sister Maryann Lamont, Sister Elizabeth Stone and husband Tom, Sister Agnes Reichl and husband Charlie, Brother William Lamont and wife Kelly, Sister Susie Wark and husband Gerard, Brother Michael Lamont and wife Tammy, Sister In Law Jackie Collins and husband Dickie, Brother In Law John Conroy and wife Nancy,  20 nieces and nephews and 22 great nieces and nephews who all called her “Cappy.”


In lieu of flowers, Cathy’s wishes were to donate to the Scarborough Fish and Game Association P.O. Box 952 Scarborough, Maine 04070-0952 or donate a much-needed item to your local Animal Shelter in her memory.


Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 27, 2023 at Hobbs Funeral Home, 671 U.S Route 1, Scarborough.


Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Saturday, January 28, 2023 at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church in Scarborough, followed by burial at Scarborough Memorial Cemetery.

I was Cathy's window cleaner. I had nice conversations over the 15 or so years. Cathy was very kind and genuine. I am so sorry for her husband Jim and the rest of her family and friends.

My deepest condolences to Jim, Mary, and her family. Cathy and I sat together almost every day going back and forth to elementary school. I remember loving her long red hair.

Our condolences to Jim, Mary, and family. We were neighbors years ago, later becoming a seasonal driver, and family friends for many years. I would treat Cathy to some of her favorite goodies. Cathy was always the positive side of any conversation. I'm not sure I ever saw her without a smile. Cathy brought joy and comfort to each of our lives and she will be missed.

Our Condolences to Jim, Mary and your entire family. Cathy was such a kind person. As a young kid, I always enjoyed popping into Conroy's Oil and Cathy would always have a smile and would always make sure that there was access to old fashioned Coke machine there. May you rest in peace.

I loved this girl! As a teen she and Jim would have me over and put me to work. They basically saved me from myself. Cappy raised an amazing daughter who gave her two great grandkids. Any time I spent with her was always good. A tremendous loss to our family and hers. She will be missed, but will always be remembered by me. I love you Cappy
