30 OUR LIFE • January-February 2024 ВІДІЙШЛИ У ВІЧНІСТЬ • IN MEMORIAM Catherine Zadorecka Gorham Branch 95, Kerhonkson/Poughkeepsie, NY Catherine Zadorecka Gorham, 80, of Poughkeepsie, New York, fell asleep in the Lord peacefully on November 13, 2023, surrounded by her loving and devoted family. She was born in Bergheim, Germany, to Magdalena and Ivan Zadorecky. She immigrated to the U.S. and lived in “Little Ukraine” in New York City until moving to Poughkeepsie. Catherine was a graduate of Poughkeepsie High School and SUNY Dutchess. She was employed at IBM until she met her husband and started a family. Returning to work, she worked at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies, then the Professional Culinary Academy un - til retirement. Cathy (as friends and family called her) had the soul of an art - ist, being interested in many of the arts and crafts, such as photogra - phy, basket making, gardening, and sewing and quilting, as well as crafting, where she had quite a skillful hand. She also enjoyed classical music and loved the opera. She especially loved traveling with her family to places like Alaska, Canada, and particularly the American Southwest. Cathy was very proud of her heritage and was a founding member of UNWLA Branch 95, of which she was a devoted member for over 32 years. She served as the branch archivist all those years, recording branch activities, and also served as a co-vice president for a few terms. Cathy threw herself wholeheartedly into the branch’s many ethnic and cultural activities for the local community as well as for the UNWLA, using her artistic and crafting skills to create many beautiful items. Her last efforts were geared toward Ukrainian war humanitarian relief. Cathy is loved and mourned by her husband of 54 years, Robert, and is survived by her children, Anne Marie Rachupka, her husband Tony Rachupka, and James Gorham, and by her grandchildren, Samuel and Thomas Rachupka, as well as close family, several adoring nieces, and countless loving friends, especially her Branch 95 sisters. We will miss you, Cathy. Diakuyu for all you meant to us! Rest in God’s peace.
