Catherine L. Squillace, 69, of Gahanna, Ohio, passed away on August 12, 2018 after a courageous battle with endometrial cancer. She was preceded in death by her mother Grace Dickinson, her brother Jeff Dickinson, grandparents Eva and Harold Dickinson, and Harry and Theresa Griffin. She is survived by her father, Joseph (Mary Margaret) Dickinson; husband of 46 years, Vincent Squillace II; children, Vincent (Jennifer) Squillace III, Marci (Sam) Ewing, Beth (Todd) Sheraw; and most precious grandchildren, Ellie, Connor, Evelyn, Gianna, Vincent IV, and Leonardo.

She was a compassionate, dedicated teacher at Gahanna Middle School West, Whitehall Yearling High School, and Stonybrook Early Learning Center. One of her proudest accomplishments after retirement was achieving a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do from Darimar Martial Arts. What brought her greatest joy was spending time with family, spoiling her grandchildren, and visiting Charlevoix, Michigan. We give special thanks to Dr. Reid, Dr. Rath, and their staff, and the empathetic, committed, and loving staff at The Bing Infusion Center and Riverside Yellow 7. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to foster scientific research to find cures for the disease of endometrial sarcoma. The family will receive visitors at Schoedinger Northeast Chapel, 1051 E. Johnstown Rd., Gahanna, on Wednesday, August 15 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. The Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 16 at St. Matthew the Apostle, 807 Havens Corners Rd. in Gahanna, Ohio with interment to follow at Mifflin Cemetery.
