After retiring from the School District of Philadelphia, Cathy became a counselor at Northeast Catholic High School, where she served until the Archdiocese of Philadelphia closed North in 2010. Karl Janowitz wrote: “We worked together at University City High School and became quite close when she was counselor at Sharswood Elementary School and I was the coordinator of Southwark Motivation  (South Philadelphia High School, Motivation) which some of her students applied to and attended every year. She was a caring, compassionate and skilled counselor who was an asset to her students.  We stayed friends long after those years as well. We shared similar interests, travel, reading, current events, etc. Cathy introduced me to wonderful Philadelphia restaurants. She was always caring and interested in so much of what was happening in our city and in our world.” Charlie and Phyllis Donnelly wrote: “ I [Charlie] was blessed to know Cathy Lyman during her tenure at Sharswood Elementary School. I was a Special Education Teacher and she was a counselor. My first real experience  with Cathy happened during a crisis....We were truly blessed by God for her friendship. We have pictures of Cathy which will be included in our wall of fame at home. I could go on, but space will not allow me. Everyone in life should be blessed by a friend like Cathy. We will truly miss her.”

Born in Hazleton, PA, daughter of the late Cletus M. and Anita B. Lyman, Cathy was educated at St. Gabriel Elementary and High School. She received her B.A. with major in English from Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart in Purchase, NY, in 1962.

81, born in London in 1938, died suddenly on July 17, 2020. A luxury retailer, he founded Bergdorf GoodMAN, Bergdorf’s first men’s store. He began his career at Saks, was the youngest gift buyer at Abercrombie & Fitch, President of Farnsworth Reid and Garfinkle’s, Washington, D.C.  He came to Philadelphia and Bonwit Teller in l978, gaining notoriety for windows designed by lighting artist Remo Saraceni, creator of the walking piano in the film BIG. He accessorized models in tropical prints with live parrots and cockatoos, stopped traffic the day he put a race horse in the window. A Gorey-esque figure often photographed in a bear coat with a wolf collar. When a devastating brain surgery ended the career he loved, he devoted himself to community, serving on the QVNA board, and 3rd District Police Advisory Committee. He was known and loved by all as the Mayor of Bainbridge Street. A frequent presence at Freeman’s, he turned his appreciation of fine objects into a modest antiques business. In later years, he made art from found objects, painted abstracts wild with color. Indomitable, eccentric, and charming, his laugh was a window flung open.

He leaves behind his wife and constant companion of 45 years, author Jax Peters Lowell.  A love story worn smooth in the telling.  He leaves behind a son, Brian P. Lowell, and is also survived by his brother, Dr. J. Anthony von Fraunhofer,  A son, David J.

"My grandmom was a force. She didn't have an easy life but she never gave up. While we are all devastated to have lost her, we will find comfort in all the beautiful moments we shared. She was loyal, sometimes to a fault. She loved her grandchildren, especially Jenna, beyond words. To this day "pizza seasoning" will forever mean pot to me thanks to her. Grandmom was Philly through and through and she sure loved Gooey Louie's. She will be deeply missed by many but none more than her family. I'm sure she is up there with her mom, dad and brothers catching up while "sitting in her rocking chair and smoking her pipe of weed" looking down on Jack and Joey hoping they finally stay the hell out of trouble."

Due to the current Pandemic services will be private.
