Catherine Faith Matthews-Pennanen
July 23, 1956 - January 27, 2022
Catherine Matthews-Pennanen died Thursday, January 27, 2022 at her home in Berkley. She was 65 at the time of her death and is survived by her husband, Michael; her three kids, Cary (and daughter-in-law Kat), Neil, and Daley; her one grandchild, Zoie; and her dog, Ollie. Cath died after fighting hard against stage 4 lung cancer. She was married to Michael for 42 years. Cath was a pediatric physical therapist, spending most of her life wrestling with babies and helping hundreds of families. She was active in the jazzercise community as well as multiple book clubs. She inspired others with her relentless positivity as well as her quiet but loving voice. She will be missed by all who knew her. We will not be conducting a funeral service at this time, but plan to have a Celebration of Life later in the spring.
