Catherine D. Ferranti

Catherine D. “Cathie” (Murphy) Ferranti, age 53, of Attleboro, passed away peacefully Monday, July 16, 2018 at Philip Hulitar surrounded by family and friends. She was wife of Richard “Rick” E. Ferranti with whom she recently celebrated her marriage.

Born in Fall River, a daughter of the late Patrick J. and Catherine M. (Dennehy) Murphy, she spent most of her life in Fall River, moving to Attleboro recently.

She worked for the past 14 years with a tremendous work “family” as the Executive Assistant/Corporate Secretary to the President and Board of Directors at Bank Newport. She enjoyed her job and took pride in her work all the while with a smile on her face and an “Ola’” for everyone. Her upbeat attitude, positivity, and unforgettable smile will be missed. .

An adventurous woman, she was a member of the Lady of Harley Owners Group and enjoyed bike runs for charity. She also enjoyed golfing and spending time at the beach. Cathie would be the first to say that she has been blessed in so many ways one of which is by her loving and supportive family and the abundance of friends she was surrounded by.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by one sister, Margaret “Margie” Murphy of Fall River; one brother, Patrick “PJ” Murphy of Fall River; three daughters, Stephanie Roy and her husband Sean of Swansea, Autumn R. Ferranti of Deltona, FL, Kayla A. Ferranti of Attleboro; one grandson, Nolan Roy; two nieces, Kelly M. Murphy of NC, Caitlin M. Murphy of Fall River; one uncle, Timothy Dennehy of Greece, NY and many cousins.

Visiting hours Friday 6-8 PM. Contributions in her honor may be made to the American Lung Association, 1661 Worcester Rd. Ste 2, Framingham, MA 01701. Burial private.
