Catherine Pizzuto, Milford Hospital retiree
Catherine "Cathy" Pizzuto passed away Monday, March 6, 2023, at Harrison House Senior Living Residence in Georgetown. Cathy was born in Philadelphia, Pa., May 7, 1946, daughter of the late Anthony (Toni) and Mary (Grasso) Pizzuto before they relocated to Georgetown.
Cathy began her schooling at Georgetown Elementary before transferring to St. Edmond's School in Rehoboth Beach and completed her high school years at Georgetown High School class of 1965. She married and had three children. Cathy enjoyed a lifelong career working at Milford Hospital, retiring after 32 dedicated years. She was blessed with many friends as she was outgoing and friendly to everyone she met. Her last days were happier because of her visitors, specifically her loyal friends Doreen and Paula. Above all, Cathy treasured the time spent with those she held most dear. She was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Loved by many, she will be deeply and genuinely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
