Obituary of Catherine H. Wilton

Catherine H. Wilton, of Denville, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, February 14, 2018 at Compassionate Care Hospice in Dover. She was 93 years young.

Born and raised in Bronx, NY, she has been a New Jersey resident since the late 50’s. She met and married her soulmate, Robert J.

Most recently, she was a Food Service Worker for St. Clare’s in Denville for over 20 years, retiring at age 84.
