Catherine M Fischer

It is with the heaviest hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Catherine M. (nee Moore) Fischer on April 4, 2026.

Born in Hell's Kitchen, New York City, Catherine was a long-time resident of West New York, NJ, where she was a faithful parishioner of St. Joseph of the Palisades Roman Catholic Church. Catherine enjoyed being a member of the WNY Senior Group with her friends, joining bingo games and playing the slots in Atlantic City. She took great pride in her Irish heritage.

Catherine was a simple woman who loved God and her family. She also liked going to the diner, playing match games on the computer, eating chocolate ice cream and spending time and talking with people. In recent years, Catherine enjoyed being a member of the Regency Memory Care Club, where she received good care and had many, many good times.

In her career, Catherine was a Circulation Manager for the NBHA Doors and Hardware Magazine in NYC. However, her most important job of all was being a devoted and loving wife and mother. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family.

Catherine was predeceased by her husband Arthur (2009), her sister Martha, and her parents, Martha and Thomas.

She is survived by her loving children, Arthur and his wife Catherine, Susan and Martha, and her devoted grand-dogs, Pippa and Penny, as well as many loving nieces & nephews.

Friends & family will be received Wednesday 8:30-10:30 AM at Ippolito-Stellato Funeral Home, 425 Ridge Road, Lyndhurst. Funeral Mass 11 AM at Queen of Peace R.C. Church. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Catherine's memory may be made to The Alzheimer's Association, or a local Food Bank.
