On July 19th 1955 a candle was lit for Catherine Ann LaManna (nee McNamara). It burned brightly for 65 years and unexpectedly dimmed on October 3rd, 2020. Beloved wife of 46 years to Peter LaManna. Proud mother of four sons, Carlo (Dana), Paul, Dominic and Vinny (Manny). Doting grandmother to 6 beautiful grandchildren; Maddie (Marcos), Izaak, Devin, Gianni, Pietro and Maizy. Expected great-grandmother to a baby boy. Devoted Sister of Danny (Emma) Sheila (Dick), Margaret (Byron), Jane (Mike) and Mary Beth (Phil).

Preceded in death by father, John McNamara, mother, Elizabeth, and mother-in-law, Virginia LaManna.
Catherine was dedicated to helping people as a career. Working as a nursing assistant for 13 years at St Joseph Hospital and her most rewarding work for the past 3 years at The Pillars Hospice Home.
Catherine brightened the world all around her. She was completely selfless, with a giving nature. She so much enjoyed her time at the river and always showed love through her baking. Catherine was the happiest surrounded by her family talking, eating and playing cards.
