Dec, Catherine U. (Daszuta) of Methuen, June 1, 2023, at age 82, formerly of Cambridge.
Devoted wife of Kenneth J. Dec.
Loving mother of Kenneth Dec and his wife Marianne, David
Dec and his wife Donna, Karen Peterson and her husband
Steven, Susan Bliujus Dec and her wife Debbie, and the late
Mark Dec who is survived by his wife Charlene.
Beloved sister of Stan Daszuta and his wife Peggy and Paul
Daszuta.
Catherine is survived by her 10 cherished grandchildren, adored
2 great grandchildren, sister-in-law Maureen Curry and her
husband Bobby, as well as nieces, nephews, and many other
loving relatives and friends.
Lover of all things New England! From “her” ocean, the Autumn leaves, the snow, and the sports. Catherine could scream for the Red Sox and Bruins, take on the toughest Yankees fans, enjoy a sip of Southern Comfort twice a year, care for all the family pets along the way, get the party started on the dance floor by cutting the rug with her husband Ken for years-showing us all how to have a good time and dance like no one was watching!
She won medals in school for her artwork and singing and continued to live life alongside the music. She passed her creativity onto her children, along with her well-placed use of sarcasm!
A grandmother for the ages she doted on her grandchildren with such love and gentleness like there was nothing that mattered more. And they knew it, soaking up everything she had to share. We have all learned valuable lessons from our Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt, Cousin, Sister, and Daughter Catherine.
We will miss her dearly but hopefully move forward with sharing those lessons of life and love with those who cross our paths.
