Upon leaving school, Catherine worked at her family's electroplating business for many years. After retiring Catherine and Thomas moved from Belleville to Toms River. In her younger years Catherine loved roller skating and could be found many a time skating and roller dancing the nights away. While living in Toms River for nearly 36 years, Catherine spent most of her summer days dipping her toes in the pool at the local club house. The month of May was spent in Florida where she and Tom would enjoy getting their yearly tan. Catherine and Tom enjoyed cruising to warmer places in the winter where they would exhibit their dancing skills, jitterbugging was their specialty. When not enjoying the sun Catherine could be found in Atlantic CIty playing the slot machines and would only take a break for a complimentary cappuccino!
