Catherine Cain, 91, of Eltingville, a retired telephone repair dispatcher, died yesterday at Staten Island University Hospital in Ocean Breeze.
Born Catherine Judge in Elizabeth, NJ, she lived most of her life in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. She moved to Eltingville in August to live with her daughter, Ann Marie Quinn.
Mrs. Cain worked for the former New York Telephone Company, now Verizon, for twenty-five years. She began her career as an operator and retired in 1977 as a repair dispatcher.
After retiring, Mrs. Cain earned her Graduate Equivalency Degree (GED) and received an associate's degree from the College of Staten Island at the age of seventy-five.
When she wasn't studying, Mrs. Cain enjoyed spending time with family and friends and traveling. She visited all fifty states and several countries in Europe. A fan of the theater, she also went to Manhattan to see shows as often as possible.
Mrs. Cain was devoted to her family and spent months poring over documents and searching for the burial site of her mother, the former Catherine Carney, who died when Mrs. Cain was two years old, and her father, Patrick Judge, who died when she was fifteen. Five years ago she found their unmarked plots in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Newark, and had a proper headstone erected.
Books were very important to Mrs. Cain and she taught reading at St. Patrick's grammar school in Brooklyn. She also volunteered in an adult literacy program in the Brooklyn Public Library. An avid reader herself, she read roughly a book a week, her family said. She also enjoyed completing crossword puzzles.
Mrs. Cain was a parishioner of St. Patrick's R.C. Church, Brooklyn.
Her husband of thirty-six years, Edward, died in 1970.
In addition to her daughter, Ann Marie Quinn, surviving are a son, Edward; another daughter, Barbara Pyburn; seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
The funeral will be held on Wednesday from the John Vincent Scalia Home for Funerals, Eltingville, with a Mass at 9:45 a.m. in Holy Child R.C. Church, also in Eltingville.
Burial will follow in Ocean View Cemetery, Oakwood.
