Cathy Leibovitz
1949-2026
We are saddened to report that after suffering a severe stroke on Mother's Day Cathy Leibovitz passed away on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. Cathy was the loving wife and life-long companion to her husband, Mike. For many years, Mike and Cathy have been fixtures at almost all Tritons meetings and events.
Cathy was known for her compassion, kindness, and intelligence. She loved traveling with her family to national parks all over the country and especially loved seeing the waterfalls and mountains. In her free time, Cathy enjoyed going to museums, a local park, or reading a good book, especially scifi and was a huge fan of Star Trek and Star Wars. Cathy was an avid knitter and crocheter and loved all her friends in her knitting group. She liked creating personalized gifts from her beautiful needlework.
Cathy also enjoyed her time spent as an amateur radio operator, under the callsign, KA9ZWZ, which she used for her volunteer work and Walk for Israel. She was also a lifetime member of Hadassah. Cathy will be dearly missed by all.
