Obituary of Catherine Torres

Catherine Torres, a beloved resident of Lower Makefield, passed away peacefully at her home on March 23, 2024, at the age of 97. Catherine was preceded by her One True Love, Edward Torres, seven weeks earlier. They were fiercely devoted and always together, they couldn't live without each other. Catherine was born in Trenton, NJ on September 14, 1926. She met Ed at a USO dance in 1950 and married him two years later. They remained together for the next 72 years. They raised three children together Donna Torres, Edward Torres Jr. (Butch), and Lora Torres-Warner (Todd Warner). Catherine was a loving grandmother to Erin Saylor (Brian Saylor) and Christopher Warner, and her day was brightened when she saw her two great-grandchildren Raegan and Austin. Catherine is preceded by her brothers, Nick, Dominick, and Frank (Babe) and will be missed by her sister-in-law Ginger Cracker along with several nieces and nephews.
