Cathie Araiza Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Cathie was born on December 21,1952 in San Jose, California. The middle daughter of three girls to Ruth and Simon Araiza. She was an entrepreneur from the start. You would find her going door to door with her wagon selling her mom's magazines and apples from their backyard tree. She attended James Lick High school and graduated from San Jose State with a Bachelor's in Interior Design. She opened The Spinnery in the mid seventies, a knitting, weaving, craft shop. Soon after she bought her first restaurant, El Paseo on Tully Road. She added a second location on Story Road in the early 80s and then a third on El Camino Real in Sunnyvale. She was always involved in real estate, making personal investments. In 1995 Cathie got her real estate license. She became one of the top 1% of selling agents in the United States in 2004. This was due to her passion to help people find a home and a better life.
In 2002 the doctors found a mass in her brain that would result in 3 brain surgeries. Over the years the cancer would return and spread.
Cathie will be remembered for her hard work and life-long dedication of helping others.
