Catherine Mary Polcha, 69, of Dunmore, died early Tuesday at Mount Sinai South Nassau County, NY.  She was preceded in death by her husband, the late Ronald Polcha, who died in 1977.

She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Polcha Carroll of Dunmore; grandchildren Mackenzie Polcha, and Thomas and Jack Carroll; her brother John Kisal and wife Paulette of Scranton; her very close cousin Barbara Figured of Blairstown, NJ ; as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins.
