Catherine A. Lesterson (née Briguglio), age 89, passed away peacefully on September 26, 2025. She was the beloved wife of the late William Lesterson for 58 years.

Catherine was the devoted mother of Laurie (Bob) Katchuba and the late Allen Lesterson. She was the cherished grandmother of Adam, Anthony, Sean (fiancée Kerry), Stacey (Tim), Nicholas (Sara), Jessica (Nick), Robert, William (Cayla), Katherine (Kyle), Adam, Brianna (Anthony), Destiny, Salena, Seth and Jenni (Danny); and the proud great-grandmother of Alyssa (JD), McKayla, Lacey, Logan, Layla, Raelynn, Anthony, Oakley, Daytona and Summer. She was the dear sister of JoAnn (the late John) Keith.

The matriarch of her family, Catherine's greatest joy was being a grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved spending time with her family, often going to lunch and shopping with her daughter and granddaughters. An exceptional cook, Catherine's home was the heart of family gatherings. Every Sunday after church, loved ones would come together to enjoy her famous meatballs and potatoes, creating memories that will be treasured forever.

Catherine will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. A celebration of Catherine's life will take place at a later date.
