Catherine (Sutton) Smith, born January 8, 1949 died July 5, 2023 at age 74, surrounded by friends and family. She fought a brief and quick bout with pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her children Allyson (Mark) Patterson, Alicia Stratton, and Ashley (Garry) Russell; grandchildren Alexandra, Ethan, Kaylee, and honorary grandchildren Makayla and Maddison, as well as numerous beloved nieces, nephews, in-laws, cousins, former neighbors, friends, and her very best friend since elementary school, Mary Madison. Predeceased by her loving husband of 43 years Philip, her parents Catherine (née Seward) and Donald Sutton, her sister Jacqueline, and brother Gary.
Cathy was an effervescent, joyful person who spent many years making her house a happy home, after working briefly at Kodak where she met Phil. She was involved with the Hilton Music Boosters, organizing band trips and supporting her daughters' love of music. Cathy bowled for many years in the Friendship League, enjoyed time on Sodus Bay, gardened, was creative with crafts, spent time as a Girl Scout Leader, worked for Food Service in Hilton Central School District, and welcomed everyone with a smile and food.
