Catherine (Kitty) Vizzard, age 92, of Lansdale went to our Lord on Sunday, January 24, 2021. She had a stroke on Thursday evening which allowed her family to say their last good-byes and to receive the Last Rites.

She was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Thomas Francis Vizzard, on January 29, 2003, her son, Thomas Vizzard Jr., on February 3, 2009, and Grandson, Brian T. Fabick on June 13, 2013.

Born in Norfolk, Virginia, and raised in South Philadelphia by her Grandmother, Catherine (Katie) Haggerty, and her Aunts—Florrie Frank, Betsy Batson, and Irene Sharkey. She was the daughter of the late Roger and Margaret (nee Suddith) Haggerty.

Surviving are her children, Maureen Fabick (Ed), Kathleen Reilly (Charlie), Maggie Vizzard, Jim Vizzard (Marie) and, Patrick Vizzard (Gina). Her Grandchildren, Ed Fabick (DiDi), Elizabeth Fabick, Eric Fickes (LeeAnn), Kila Baldwin (Bill), Amanda Gonzalez (Jose Pierre), Tommy Vizzard, James Vizzard (Carissa), Thomas Vizzard, Catherine Vizzard, Patrick Vizzard, Daniel Vizzard (Fiance Emily) and, Sean Vizzard. Her Great Grandchildren, Eddie Fabick, Patty Fabick, Dylan Fickes, Jordyn Fickes, Riley Fickes, Braelyn Baldwin, Liam Baldwin, and Manny Gonzalez.

A friend recently said of Mom, “She was such a wonderful, wonderful, great lady”…and that she was! She loved being around her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She loved children and had a special gift of making them feel very special. Mom was involved in Girl Scouts, the Altar and Rosary Society, Fresh Air Children, a Volunteer Receptionist at St. Stanislaus Parish Center, the International Student Program and, the Mental Health Social Work Organization in Norristown, PA. Throughout her life she took in and cared for her Cousin Johnny, Aunt Catherine, Aunt Florrie and the homeless needing food, shelter, or just a shower.  

St. Paul best sums up Mom in 2 Timothy 4: 5-7. “But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteousness judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
