Born in Brooklyn, New York, Catherine was preceded in death by her parents Charles John and Stacia Madeline Colombi.

She was a loving and caring wife to her husband for 34 years, mother, and home school teacher. She attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York majoring in photography. She turned her talents to serving others after graduating from the Mary Immaculate School of Radiologic Technology in Newport News, Virginia. She worked in the healthcare field for close to 25 years at hospitals in Virginia, Rhode Island, and North Carolina using her God-given talent to save lives. As a registered Radiologic Technologist she obtained advanced certification in interventional cardiology.

She is survived by her husband Michael; son Matthew “Max” Borchers; brother Norman Perez and wife, Deb; niece, Shayna and nephews, Michael and CJ; brother, John Colombi and wife, Fran; niece, Samantha and nephews, John and Chuck.

She loved photography and took amazing photos that she freely shared with others. She enjoyed cooking and making her family’s favorite dishes (for Mike - Chicken Pot Pie). She loved spending time at the beach as it reminded her of times growing up on Long Island and playing on the South Shore beaches. At work, her passion was caring for people in the medical field and she was proud to do her part with the cardiac catheterization team saving lives. The latter part of her life was dedicated to home schooling her son whom she adored. She loved making her home warm and welcome and in the summer spending time floating in the pool listening to her favorite music. She will be dearly missed but forever cherished.
