Catherine C. Pfeiffer

With great sadness we announce the death of our beloved Mother and Nanny, Catherine C. Pfeiffer, of East High Street Coaldale, Pennsylvania who passed away peacefully on Friday, October 18, 2024, at Lehigh Valley Hospice in Allentown at 79 years of age.

Kate was born on Sunday, November 5, 1944 in Frenchtown, New Jersey. She was the daughter of the late Mildred Adelia Robbins and Oscar Carter Sands. Catherine was also predeceased by her brothers William Robbins and Oscar Richard Robbins.

Surviving are daughters, Mary Ann Flyzik of Coaldale, Rebecca Frank wife of Daniel of Allentown, Stephanie Young wife of Corey of Murrieta, Ca; companion Joseph "Moe" Burns of Coaldale; sister, Doreen Lilly of Bath; stepsons, Gary Pfeiffer and Richard Pfeiffer; grandchildren, Cameron Young, Jacob Weiksner, Justin Weiksner, Jordan Frank, Claire Frank, and Alice Frank.

A 1963 graduate of Delaware Valley Regional High School, Catherine received her associate's degree from the Allentown Business School. Catherine had worked at Koh-I-Noor in Bloomsbury, New Jersey. In later years she was employed by Tamaqua Family Practice, Carbon Surgical Associates, and Amazon.

Catherine enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She enjoyed nights out to dinner, dancing, or attending a concert. Catherine especially looked forward to time spent with her family, visits to Stephanie’s house in California where she cultivated new friends while dog sitting. Kate and Moe had a nightly ritual of watching "Jeopardy", to which Kate professed to be the champion. Catherine’s beautiful spirit was reflected in her love for her animals, while she deeply missed her beloved dog Hollie, and cats Tigger, and Kitty Carlyle.
