Catherine Mary (Neville) Ettinger, 60, of Lower Macungie Township, died unexpectedly Aug. 3, 2020, surrounded by her loved ones. She was the wife of Scott Ettinger. Born in Elmhurst (Queens), N.Y., she was a daughter of the late Joseph Neville and Mary (Hallenbeck) Neville.

She was a warm-hearted, joyful soul who lovingly and selflessly gave to her family, friends and community as a teacher for over 20 years. Her last act of kindness was to pass the miracle of life on to others through her donation of vital organs.

She enjoyed music, shopping, family walks with her dog, Toby, visiting her children in Manhattan and many treasured hours throughout her life in the company of family and friends. Those who had the honor of knowing her will remember her as a vivacious person who lived every day to the fullest. She will be dearly missed.

She is survived by her husband; a sister, Denise Smith; children, Bryan and Laura; daughters-in-law, Beth Regan and Kristen; aunts; uncles; cousins; nieces and a nephew.

Contributions may be made to the Catherine Mary Neville Ettinger Future Writers Fund. Fund details will be forthcoming.

Arrangements are entrusted to the Stephens Funeral Home, Inc., Allentown.
