Catherine Marie Kissinger
December 23, 1953 – June 28, 2023
Cathy was born in December 1953, in Washington, D.C., the second of five children to George F. and Dorothy V. Kissinger. Her passions in life were being in touch with people and waking up each morning. Cathy had a talent for sending cards; spending hours looking until finding one that spoke to the recipient. And they always arrived in the mail before the special day. She knew the full name and birthday of everyone from her mother and father to the third generation of her tree.
Cathy went through years of cancer treatments and remissions until complications from other illnesses took over. She died on Wednesday June 28, 2023 at the age of 68.
Besides her parents, Cathy was preceded in death by her sister, Dorothy V. Greene, and her aunt and uncle, Helen and Paul Isenberg.
Mourning Cathy’s loss includes three brothers, George E. Kissinger of Port Republic MD, James F. Kissinger of Pompano Beach FL, and Billy Kissinger of Bowie MD, many nieces, nephews, and friends, especially her roommate, Mattie, nurse Ruth, and new friends at Future Care Chesapeake Nursing Home.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Cathy’s name may be made to Pets With Disabilities, 635 Clay Hammond Road, Prince Frederick, MD 20678.

I knew of Cathy through her niece Elizabeth, I never met her personally and I wish I could’ve because she sounded amazing and a pleasure to be around. I just want to let the family of Cathy know that death is not final, we will all see our passed loved ones again someday together, their spirit is also still here with us and within us so they never truly cease to exist. I send my love and condolences to you guys in this time of need, please stick close together in these times, grief is 10x times worse when you’re alone so please love on each other hard and continue to check up on one another.

I pray that my silence doesn’t offend any, but my heart speaks aloud to the family, and friends of Cathy. I’m reminded by the welcoming spirit she had to communicate and let her feelings, thoughts and emotions be known. The Incredible bond I was able to experience with her brother Billy which reminds me of me and my own sister. Remembering howsShe treated Liz as if she was her aunt, mother and big sister, through what may have been good and bad times she’s left a memory on all of us by the kind of woman she was. I pray that where she is now she is closer to God in joy, peace and love, until we may see her again, I send my condolences.
