Catherine F. Staunton, age 78 of Wayne, died unexpectedly on Friday, September 5, 2014. She was a Wayne resident since 2006.
Catherine was born in Quincy, Massachusetts and raised in the Boston area. She met her husband after being matched up by a friend. Vincent Paul Staunton was a Navy sailor and they fell in love. They married on July 6, 1957 and immediately moved to Los Angeles, California. Vincent began working for a transoceanic shipping company and they moved around a lot as a result. She lived in Bellevue, Washington, then Monmouth County, NJ, then back to Bellevue again before finally settling in Upper Saddle River, NJ in 1972. She and Vincent enjoyed some fun summers over the years, especially at their time share at Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island. They made a lot of memories in their forty seven years together before Vincent’s passing in 2004.
Catherine’s children recall her being a very loving, selfless and supportive mother. She was almost the stereotypical ‘soccer mom,’ cheering them on at every game. She was also their favorite cook, making mac & cheese that was simply the best, her Mexican casserole was equally as good, and her onion potatoes were like nothing you’ve ever had before. She was a selfless woman, giving her all to raising her two boys. That is, until grandchildren came along. She was a devoted grandmother and was guilty of spoiling her grandchildren perhaps just a little bit.
She was an avid reader, loved to visit botanical gardens, and she was an accomplished crafter. For a number of years she would make crafts that would then be sold to raise money for cancer research. She also became a dog-lover later in life; rescuing her furry companion “Casey.”
Catherine is survived by her two sons; Paul and his wife Dale of Wayne, Mark and his wife Tracy of Somerset, NJ, two grandchildren; Danielle and Kristin Staunton of Wayne, and by her one sister; Anne Stone of Pinon Hills, CA.
Donations in Catherine’s memory would be greatly appreciated. Please consider the ALS Association of Greater NY, 42 Broadway, Suite 1748, New York, NY 10006.
