Catherine L. “Cathy” Saylor, 56

April 30, 2018

Catherine L. “Cathy” Saylor, 56, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on April 30, 2018, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born May 10, 1961 in Lancaster, PA, the daughter of the late Charles and Petronilla (Mayer) Hearn.
She was a 1979 graduate of Manheim Township High School, and had worked as a Pharmacy Technician with Save Mart, File Clerk for Dermatology Physicians, and had formerly been the Cafeteria Manager for both Lancaster County Career and Technology Center and Conestoga Valley Middle School. She really felt that her 22 years in food service and the catering business was definitely her gift in life. Cathy will be remembered for her infectious laugh, that she always went out of her way to help people, and that she made sure to never miss anyone’s birthday. An excellent cook, she loved cooking big family meals and being surrounded by those she loved. She enjoyed the outdoors, such as gardening and walking in the woods. She also loved her beagles, Raymond Tucker and Lilli Kate.
Cathy is survived by her loving family, husband, Sam Saylor, Lancaster, son, Patrick Cronin, Lancaster, daughter, Amber Heinly, Willow Street, three sisters; Renee Kotler, Holly Hearn, Annie Huber, her brother, Charles Hearn, five grandchildren; Auburn and Scarlett Heinly, Eleanor, Breana, and Madison Cronin. She was preceded in death by her brother, Michael Hearn.

I want to extend my condolences to your family for the passing of Cathy. I was so saddened to see the news as I worked as a Hygienist with Cathy and Amber for many years and even Patrick a few times when I worked at Loeffler-Pitt Dental. We shared many laughs and lifes ups and downs. Knowing your family enriched my life for which I’m thankful. I hope the memories will ease you through this diffacult time, and that wonderful laugh!

What a beautiful photo and life of Kiss!! We graduated the same year from highschool! My heart goes out to each and every one of you during this tremendous loss. Holly has kept me apprised of Kiss’s courageous fight throughout and the amazing love, caring and support from her family I know helped sustain her! Her attitude and strong faith in God was inspirational and can hopefully, allow for peace and healing at this time….keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers, Linda, Kaylor and Jalynn
