Catherine Elizabeth Maloney

Catherine Elizabeth Maloney, 37, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, passed away on March 11, 2026. Born on October 25, 1988, in Fairfield, Connecticut, to Sue and Bill Maloney, Cathy was the beloved daughter of parents who cherished her deeply. She grew up in Fairfield, where her days were filled with games, meets, recitals, and activities through the Y, Wakeman, Fairfield Rec, and many other local organizations. A 2006 graduate of Roger Ludlowe High School, she thrived in field hockey, soccer, track, string and chamber orchestras, and countless other pursuits, forming friendships she held dear throughout her life.

Cathy went on to graduate from Georgetown University in 2010 with a degree in mathematics. While there, she rowed with the women’s lightweight crew team and devoted herself to community outreach, tutoring, and mentoring students throughout Washington, D.C. She later earned a master’s degree in mathematics from UCONN, where she also taught undergraduate math courses. She found deep fulfillment as a math teacher at Warren Harding High School in Bridgeport, where she proudly wore the school’s blue and gold and celebrated her students’ efforts and achievements with genuine pride. She remained equally grateful for the friendship and support of her colleagues.

Outside the classroom, Cathy loved sailing on Long Island Sound, playing tennis, and taking long walks through Black Rock. She enjoyed the New York Times games, playing the piano, knitting, cooking, and spending time with her cherished dog, Schatzi.

She is survived by her parents, Sue and Bill Maloney of Fairfield; her grandmother, Rose Jablonski of Southport; her aunt, Carol Maloney; and her cousins, Kate (Chris) Fagiani, Teresa Fagiani, Susan Fagiani, and Michael Maloney. She was predeceased by her grandparents, Edward and Ruth Maloney of Swampscott, Massachusetts; her uncles, Ed Maloney and Joe Antonik; and her beloved cousin, Maggie Maloney.
