Catherine MacInnes Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Roberts Mitchell Caruso Funeral Home - Millis Chapel on Aug. 27, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Catherine "Cathy" Collins MacInnes, beloved wife of 41 years to Stephen MacInnes, loving and devoted mother to William MacInnes and his partner Nadine, passed away on Monday, August 25th, 2025.

Cathy served as a Judicial Secretary at the Supreme Judicial Court in Boston for 39 wonderful years, while also volunteering her time and expertise to the Town of Millis. During her time as the town Selectwoman, she prioritized taxpayer relief and consistently advocated for improvements to benefit the community.

She enjoyed spending time with her family and dogs, spending time on the beach at her home on the Cape, attending Patriots games as a long-time season ticket holder with her family and friends, growing native wildflowers in her many gardens, quilting beautiful pieces with her beloved quilting club, and driving around town with her top down in her favorite convertible. She was adored by many and will be dearly missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Catherine MacInnes Memorial Scholarship Fund.
