She was the wife of John D. Silva Jr.

Mom’s favorite pastime was spending time with her family. She was an amazing cook and loved having Sunday dinners with her family. She also had quite a love for baking and will be remembered by many for her homemade decadent cookies and fudge she shared Every Christmas!

Catherine loved the beach and the ocean, spending time in the warm sunshine. She enjoyed crocheting, making slippers, gloves, hats, and blankets for her loved ones. She also loved her family pets over the years.

She was snarky yet classy and always spoke her mind. Many admired her for this. Fun loving and loyal and stronger than any woman I know.
