Cathy J. McHugh of Scranton died Wednesday at VNA Hospice at Geisinger Community Medical Center. Her husband is John J. McHugh Jr.
Born in Scranton, daughter of the late Leonard C. and Ruth Geary Maines, she was a member of the Peckville United Methodist Church.
Everyone who knew her loved her and she would light up a room with her smile. Her grandchildren were the light of her life. Enduring multiple sclerosis for 39 years and a bout with breast cancer, her faith sustained her through all adversity.
Also surviving are two sons, John J. and Michael of Scranton; a sister, Carol Manziano, Newton Lake; two grandchildren, Connor and Shane; several nieces and nephews.
She was also preceded in death by a brother, Gary L. Maines, in 2007.
Services will be held at the Community Worship Bible Church, 1019 Wood St., Scranton, on Saturday at 10 a.m. by the Rev. Jack Munley.
Friends may call Saturday from 9 until the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Community Worship Bible Church.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit.
