Catherine V. Zivec (nee Alaimo), 92, a longtime resident of Plainfield, was born in Joliet, on February 22, 1925 and passed away at Lakewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Plainfield, on January 12. We will miss her joyful, kind, and caring personality. She loved to garden and never missed an opportunity to enjoy time outdoors in the sun. Her infectious laugh brought a smile to everyone.
