Obituary for Catherine Cecilia "Cas" Netta (Kenney)

Catherine Cecilia Netta
(Kenney)

Age 84, of Wilmington, DE, passed away at the Heartland Hospice on Thursday, August 26, 2010, surrounded by her family after a brief battle with cancer.

Cas was born on March, 22, 1926, to the late Daniel and Julia Kenney. She attended St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Elementary School and St. Paul’s Commercial. Throughout her long life she held various jobs including those at Wilmington Trust, Elsmere Presbyterian Childcare Center, and other volunteer services. Her greatest joy was being a mother, grandmother, and caregiver. Cas will always be remembered as being a strong and loving woman and a favorite of many. She took great pleasure in the simpler things in life, and was happiest when surrounded by her friends and very large extended family.

Besides her parents, Cas was also preceded in death by her husband of 23 years, Joseph J. Netta, Sr. in 1971; her brothers, Daniel, James, John, and Joseph; and her sister, Elizabeth Hetzler.

Cas is survived by her six children, Joyce Netta, Joe (Kathy), Larry (Sherry), Michael (Jen), Lorraine Scheib (Sam), and Marianne Morrow; eight grandchildren, Joey, Alison, Matt, Robby, and Tori Netta, Lauren and Lisa Cuomo, and Jimmy Morrow, step-grandchildren, Stephen, and Josh, great-grandchildren, Tony and Ava; her sisters, Mary White and Anne Farley (Tom); her two sisters-in-law, Esther Kenney and Estelle Kenney, and many nieces and nephews.

Cas’s family would like to thank Dr. Cynthia Heldt and the doctors and staff of Christiana Care, HCR Manor Care, and Heartland Hospice for their wonderful caregiving.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend funeral services on Tues., Aug. 31, at 11:00 am at Krienen-Griffith Funeral Home, 1400 Kirkwood Hwy., Elsmere. Friends may call at Krienen-Griffith Funeral Home on Mon., Aug. 30, from 6-8 pm. Entombment in Cathedral Cemetery, Wilmington.
