Catherine Brown Obituary

Waterford - Catherine "Cat" Elise Brown, 30, of Waterford, went home to be with the Lord Monday, May 27, 2019, at Yale New Haven Hospital after a long and courageous fight with multiple illnesses. Cat was a fighter and always kept her daughter Maya in mind while fighting for her life during all of her hospital stays throughout the years.

She was born Sept. 16, 1988, in New London, the daughter of David and Elaine (Moreau) Brown.

Cat had a tremendous work ethic and loved going to work as a server at the Mystic Marriott's Octagon Restaurant. She always took exceptional pride in her work and never thought twice about helping someone in need. She had a creative mind with an eye for decorating. Cat could always brighten any room she walked into with her sparkly personality and touch of sass. Above all else, Cat loved being a mom. The day Maya was born was the happiest day of her life.

Besides her daughter Maya, she is survived by her mom Elaine Brown; her dad David Brown; her stepfather Dan Vine; her sisters, Meagan Brown and Maria Kurisoo; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at noon Friday, May 31, 2019, at St. Paul Church, Waterford. Calling hours will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 30, at Byles Memorial Home, 99 Huntington Street, New London. Burial will be in Maplewood Cemetery in Norwich.

It's hard for me to think of a time Cat wasn't in my life. We met at Galaxy as kids and were life long friends after. I have found memories of being pregnant together and counting down the days until we were mommy's. I love you always Cat and will miss you deeply!

These times can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved ones today and always. You will forever be in my heart. You were the most wonderful woman, loving mother, and such an amazing friend. You had a gift of joy that filled every room you graced with your presence and the ability to keep a positive energy about life through the hardest of times. You were remarkable in so many ways and could make anyone smile with your goofiness. You had the most adorable sass about you that ensured your strength in the most difficult of situations. You will forever be missed by so many lucky enough to have met you, let alone, those who were special enough to be a part of your life. Love you forever and always, Cat!
