Cathy M. Denny

ROTTERDAM - On the morning of Tuesday April 9, 2024, Cathy Marie Denny (67) peacefully entered her eternal rest. Cathy was born on June 10, 1956 in the city of Amsterdam. She was the daughter of the late Frank and Arlene Jurusik.  Cathy grew up in the town of Rotterdam and was a graduate of Mohonasen Senior High School. She attended Oswego College. She began her career working at Tops Diner, where she met the love of her life, Lloyd. Later she became a distinct part of the Schalmont School District working as a teacher's aide at Pine Grove and Jefferson Elementary. You may also remember her from her years she spent at Yankee Candle, our house always smelled great!

Cathy is survived by her husband of 42 years, Lloyd Denny Jr.; her children, Danielle and Jennifer; her grandchildren, Anthony and Melanie Boisclair; her sisters Joanne and Laurie Jurusik; mother-in-law, Dorothy Denny; and several in-laws, nieces, a nephew, great nieces, great nephews, cousins, relatives and many friends. She was predeceased by her father-in-law, Lloyd Denny Sr.

Those who knew Cathy would describe her as sweet, always willing to help, and a genuine person. Cathy made sure that wherever she went, she left her mark in some way. She was a board member of the Rotterdam Girls Softball League, the Treasurer for the City Catholic bowling league, a member of the Jefferson PTO, and a member of Our Lady Queen of Peace Church. In her earlier years, you would see Cathy on the sidelines of soccer and softball games, helping out at any and all school events, and supporting her kids and grandchildren in all their sports and activities. Cathy loved her bowling and the community of people that came with it. The alleys will not be the same without her smiling face and cheerful disposition. She also had a love for baseball, especially for the Yankees, and often you would see her always wearing a Yankee shirt. During mom and dad’s retirement they spent time in Florida at Disney resorts. She loved those trips away from the cold and getting to relax by the pool.

Calling hours will be held on Monday April 22nd from 9:30 to 11:30am at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church located on Princetown Rd in Rotterdam, immediately followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:30am. She will then be laid to rest in Sts Cyril & Method Cemetery. In lieu of flowers you may make a donation in her name to Homeward Bound Dog Rescue of NY 202 Front St, Schenectady, Ny 12305 or to St. Jude Children's Hospital.
