IN THE CARE OF
HARLEY--Chi Chi (Catherine E.) of New York City, of breast cancer, October 2, peacefully at home with husband John Ryan by her side.
Chi Chi loved her native Brooklyn and celebrated life in her love of cooking, gardening, animals and the arts. A strongly independent woman whose radiance was felt by all the many lives she touched. While thoughtful and kind, she was armed with a sharp sense of humor and did not suffer fools. She freely expressed her opinions, taking action in the causes she believed in. Her trademark smile in good times and bad will endure in the hearts of her loving family and friends.
Funeral services, Monday, October 7 at 12 noon Riverside Chapel, 1895 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11210. Donations to dedicate a Magnolia Tree in tribute to Chi Chi can be made online to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (http://www.bbg.org/support).
