Cathy A. Villarreal (nee Clarke) age 75 of Alsip, passed away October 20, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. Beloved wife for 45 years to Reginald; Endlessly supportive and loving Ma of Jenny (Jay) Jasutis and John (Maggie) Villarreal; Proud Nana of Maci, Sawyer, Quinn, and Emmett; Dearest sister of Terry (Mike) Ferrentino; Cherished aunt and godmother of Colin Ferrentino; Devoted daughter of the late John and Dorothy (nee Sharp) Clarke.
Avid fan of the Chicago Blackhawks and Bears (especially the '85 team). True diehard White Sox fan and supporter of whoever plays the Cubs.
Cathy was funny, stubborn, and quick-witted - all the best traits of the Irish. She was also the kindest, most genuine person who would do anything for the people she loved.
She will be endlessly missed and forever loved.
All services will be private.
