Glorine Katanick (née Kert), 91, of Pembroke Pines, Fl, formerly from Oak Park, Michigan. Loving and much loved wife of the late Norman for 68 years. She was the adored mother of Robin (Rick) Dissen, Karen Katanick (Mark Pasman), and Dr. Cindy Katanick, special grandmother to Sara (Matt) Warshauer, Gayle Dissen, and Mitchell Kirschbaum, and GG to Rachel and Tessa Warshauer. After graduating from Michigan State University, Glorine returned to school to get her degree in Education (and continued on to get her Master’s plus 30). She taught many hundreds of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders in Detroit and Southfield, Michigan for over 25 years until she and Norman retired to Florida. During their retirement, they were inseparable - except, of course, when watching different TV shows in their separate TV rooms. Two months after Norman passed away last year, Glorine had a stroke, and she never fully recovered. Throughout her life, Glorine read the newspaper religiously, and her children fondly remember the millions of times a sentence started with, “I read an article that said…” Glorine was predeceased by her sister Friedell (the late Leonard) Wolson and her brother Harry (Corrine) Kert. She will be sorely missed by her family and everyone who knew her.
