d. December 17, 2025

Catherine Leahy, a loving mother, devoted grandmother, and cherished friend, was born on December 28, 1952, in Merrick, NY. She departed from this world after a long illness on December 17, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion.


For over 30 years, Catherine dedicated herself to serving the veterans at the Veterans Administration Hospital. Her unwavering loyalty and genuine care for those who served our country exemplified her kind spirit.


Catherine was a wonderful mother to her daughter, Mellisa Salinas, an adored grandmother to Melanie Steffens, and a loving great-grandmother to Noah and Daenerys. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, William and Regina McGann. As a sister to William McGann, she lovingly cared for him as a sole caregiver for many years. Catherine is fondly remembered as a sister and sister-in-law, an aunt, cousin, and friend to so many.


A passionate traveler, Catherine explored numerous beautiful places, creating cherished memories along the way. She held a deep faith in the Lord, which guided her every day. Her love for frogs and butterflies symbolized her joyful spirit and connection to nature.


Catherine will be remembered for her nurturing heart, her laughter, and the warmth she brought into the lives of everyone she met. Though she has left this earthly realm, her spirit continues to shine brightly in the hearts of her loved ones.

Rest in peace, Catherine. You are deeply missed and forever loved.
