Obituary For Cathy Jarvis

Cathy Scafidi Jarvis was born June 4th, 1953 in Oakland, California to Chuck and Joyce Scafidi. The daughter of a Marine Sergeant, Cathy lived on bases in Southern California and Hawaii before settling in Fremont, California in the mid-sixties. She was a graduate of Kennedy High School class of 1972 and went on to work in the electronics industry. Cathy is survived by her father Chuck, his wife Shirley, siblings Steve, David (Pamela), Tracey (Glen), Joseph (Johari), and many nieces and nephews.

Cathy had the kindest soul. Her heart of gold shined through her love, thoughtfulness and generosity. She remained lifelong best friends with her siblings and she loved them very much. She loved dancing, and sunbathing at the beach in her youth. As an adult, she found joy in shopping, sitting poolside, live music and spending time with friends and family. Seeing music at Lake Elizabeth each summer became one of her favorite pastimes.

A proud dog mama, Cathy deeply cherished her pets. Her late Yorkie, Lil Bit, spent 18 years by her side and she spoiled him greatly. She also collected trinkets, jewelry and plants, and she loved her garden. She had more shoes than she could count and rarely left the house without a cute outfit, beautifully done makeup, hair perfectly curled, and copious amounts of perfume. She always put others before herself and loved showering people with gifts. Her siblings lovingly referred to her as the official neighborhood watch, always knowing what was going on around town, and in our family. We are going to miss her neighborhood watch reports, the smell of her perfume, her thoughtful gifts, her laugh, her smile, her saying “Yeah right” when she didn't believe you, but most of all, we are going to miss her. We will carry her love and memories in our hearts forever.
