Cathleen Dianna Patricia Marengo,  AKA: Cathie\Chappy\Chaps\Cat was a special soul that connected and uplifted those around her. She embarked on her spiritual journey at 48 years old on Friday, January 27th, 2023 in her home supported by friends and family and guided by her Grandma Joyce. She fought a fierce, valiant battle against the evil-doer…C-word!

Cathie was born on March 27, 1974. She believed that “Honesty is the best policy…do you really want to know the truth?”  She was sunny, witty, kind, confident, humble. She was open minded and inclusive. She embraced people for who they were and tried to see life with all perspectives. She had a phenomenal sense of humor. Her large heart loved to give.

She had a gift for talking and connecting with people and naturally helped others through their own journeys. This ability to connect with others made her an extraordinary therapist which allowed her to help so many in our community. She received her master degree in social work at Mary-Wood University. She became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and worked as a clinical therapist at Concern’s Mental Health Outpatient Program in Tioga County. She had many other prideful therapy jobs and opportunities prior.

Her high school alma mater was Cowanesque Valley-Class of 1992. She was a passionate individual who loved her job, therapy, her friends, her family, her cats and her hobbies. She enjoyed spiritual discoveries, movies, music, green, skulls and tie-dye.

She was the daughter of Ellen M. Bowe Marengo of Wellsboro and the late John T. Marengo of Middlebury Center.

She is survived by her mother, Ellen Marengo; her sister, Maria (Clinton) Painter; her brother, John (Roxane) Marengo; nieces and nephews: Stephanie (David) Painter, Hayley (Mike) Painter, Bryant (Shayna) Painter, McGwire (Autumn) Painter, Shyanna (Charles) Plank, McKendra (Nakota) Williams, John Marengo Jr., Jaiden Marengo; great nieces and nephews: Meadow Joyce Geiger, Savannah Geiger, CJ Painter, Brixton Painter, Rhett Plank, Jagger Plank and Callum Williams.
