Catherine Dorothy McMinn, 67, of Brook Park, Ohio, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2025.

Born on February 18, 1958, in Cleveland, Ohio, Catherine was known for her infectious sense of humor, unwavering strength, and deep devotion to her faith at Mary Queen of the Apostles Parish. She had a distinguished career as a contract specialist at NASA, where her dedication and expertise left a lasting impression on colleagues.

Catherine cherished spending time with her son, Brandon, whether it was sharing stories and laughter during his visits or talking on the phone. She also loved spending time with family and friends, watching classic "old time" movies, and embracing every opportunity to make memories with those she loved.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Timothy McMinn; her son, Brandon Rosario; her daughter-in-law, Hien; and her brothers, Jim and Bill.

Family and friends are invited to a celebration of Catherine's life on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Brew Garden in Strongsville.

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