In Loving Memory of H.Catherine Schlauraff
Cathy Schlauraff, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, born and raised in Lowell, MA passed away peacefully on November 25, 2025 surrounded by love.
She is survived by her son, John, and his wife, Jhocelyn, who will forever cherish her unwavering support, kindness, and the countless memories they shared. She was a proud grandmother to her two grandsons, John and Jacob, whose lives were brightened by her gentle spirit, laughter, and love.
Cathy is also survived by her three sisters, Patricia Bishop and her husband Geoffrey, Carol Dicker and her husband John, and Maureen Andricopoulos, with whom she shared a lifetime of stories, resilience, and family connection. She was the daughter of Edmond McCready and Rose Andricopoulos Banks.
Those who knew her will remember her warmth, her generosity, and her ability to make everyone around her feel seen and cared for. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the love she gave freely. She will be missed and forever loved.
In accordance with Cathy's wishes, there will be no public viewing. A private gathering for immediate family will take place. We appreciate your understanding during this time.
