Cathy M. Spencer (nee Walker), age 60 of Prospect Park, died unexpectedly at home on Friday, August 21, 2009.

She was born in Paterson and moved to Franklin Lakes in 1957. She had been living in Prospect Park for over thirty years with her husband Tom before his passing in 2006.

Cathy was a teacher for over thirty years. She had been teaching in the Ringwood School system for the past twenty seven years, most recently at the Martin J. Ryerson Middle School.

Cathy had a deep love for the Jersey Shore. Ever since she was a little girl, her family spent their summer vacation at the beach, either in Lavallette or Seaside Park. She had returned home from a two week vacation in Seaside Park only days before her passing. Next to her love of the Jersey Shore and the New York Giants was certainly her love for shopping. Cathy would take her sister, Tracy, shopping every Saturday, without fail. Among their favorite stops were T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods, and Marshalls, just to name a few. They never missed a Saturday together and those memories will be cherished for many, many years to come.

She is survived by her two sisters; Tracy Walker of Boonton and Alison Walker and her husband Stephen of Sparta, one brother; Chud Walker and his wife Brenda of West Milford, two nephews; Justin and Sean Walker of West Milford, one niece; Rory Walker of West Milford, and a very dear friend, considered more like a “4th sister”; Carol Halliday of Boonton.

If friends so wish, donations can be made in Cathy’s memory to a charity of your own choosing.
