Born on July 31, 1958, Cathy was the cherished daughter of the late Benjamin and Catherine Manee. She grew up in Iselin, NJ, and was a proud graduate of JFK Memorial High School, Class of 1976.

She loved cooking and sharing meals with her family, especially her pierogi lasagna, a true reflection of her nurturing spirit. Her home, built by her late husband, was a source of great pride, a symbol of their enduring love and hard work.

Cathy's memory will be forever cherished by her loving children, Jessica Warneski and her fiancée Lizzy Schwartz, Nicholas Warneski and his wife Jewelia, and Adam Prokofiew and his fiancée Taylor Krolik. She will also be dearly missed by her granddaughter, Audrey Stemler; her sister, Vivien Palmer; brothers, John and Benny Manee; her nephews, Shay Palmer and Benjamin Manee; her niece, Jade Marczak and her husband Jeff; and her faithful dog, Zoey.
