Catherine touched the lives of many throughout their 70-year marriage to Victor, who was vice-president of Northern Metal Products, and later the vice-president of the Jewish Federation in Chicago. Throughout their years together, this couple provided a positive role model for all who knew them, family, friends and particularly those who witnessed their generosity within the Jewish community for three-quarters of a century. Catherine was the strength of their home ensuring that each generation felt the love and support that she shared so willingly. Catherine was the devoted daughter of the late Harry and Rose Gomberg.
