It is with deep sadness that the family of Cathy (Conaway) Roché announce her passing on July 24th, 2022 at the age of 70. She passed away peacefully at home with loved ones by her side. The cruelty of glioblastoma is unforgiving, taking her far too early, less than one month from diagnosis. Cathy was born to Robert L. Conaway and Ruth Bunce Conaway of Titusville, PA on May 23rd, 1952. She was a 1970 graduate of Townville, HS and was employed as a nurse's aide at Spencer Hospital in Meadville, PA out of high school. She married her HS sweetheart and the love of her life, Jon Dwight Roché on March 18th, 1972. They resided in Fort Riley, Kansas; Meadville, PA; and Townville, PA before settling down in Lexington, SC. She held numerous occupations during her lifetime but above all, she devoted her life to her husband, three children, and seven grandchildren. She loved the Lord and was strong in her faith. She also loved animals (especially her kitties Sammie and Poncho), collecting recipes, arts/crafts, old western movies, nature, and wildflowers. The simple things in life brought the greatest joy to her. She is predeceased by her father Robert Conaway, and survived by her husband Jon Roché; her children Brandie (Jeff) Bernagozzi, Justin (Jennifer) Roché, Cory (Valerie) Roché; her grandchildren Briana, Bella, JonRussell, Jack, Jude, Micah, and Julianne; her mother Ruth Conaway Preston; her step-father Ted Preston; sisters Linda Conaway, Mary (George) Schroeder, Patricia (Don) Smith, Brenda (Curtis) Bogda; brother Neil (Terry) Conaway; many cousins, nieces, nephews, and loving friends. A private celebration of her life will be held by her close family. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to: gbmresearch.org or glioblastomafoundation.org
